EEC Conformity of a vehicle from overseas

Mate is thinking of one of these and asked me as i've been through SVA 4 times now!

I'm not sure if EEC country - compliant with directive 97/24/EC is right or what he's need to do to get it registered!

Yes, a CoC confirming EC type-approval will allow you to register in the UK.

97/24/EC is mentioned on the CoC in reference to the vehicle 'catergory'. However, the actual type-approval number should include either 2002/24/EC or 92/61/EEC.

It's all acedemic though cos it looks absolute sh*te and he shouldn't buy it.
