Common questions
What details matter before buying a Charger?
Check the VIN against the original title, confirm the build date and ask about modifications. We import clean-title vehicles only.
Can modifications affect an older Charger?
Yes. Substantial changes to the chassis, body, axles or engine can affect historic exemptions. Keep records of the work and discuss it before shipping.
Could an older Charger qualify for historic relief?
It may, but the build date alone does not settle it. HMRC considers the vehicle's age and original state, so ask about a ruling before shipping rather than assuming relief.
