Dom-Can't remember exactly what you need to get the seller to sign but when you have got all the relevent paperwork you will get a temporary export log book called a "Internationaler Zulasssungsschein" from the German DVLA local office. You will need to get the old Log Book called "Fahrzeugbrief" from the seller.
Once in the UK you will not have to pay duty provided a) that you're buying the vehicle from an EU country and b) Duty (ie VAT) has already been paid in that country. You can drive the vehicle in the EU on your temporary insurance and that means that you can get it MOT'd (you don't need to produce insurance to get an MOT issued-don't forget that you will need to get the headlights to dip the 'other way' and you may need to swop the fog light to the 'other side') but you will need UK insurance (and MOT Certificate-not the German "TUV")to get the vehicle registered. Cut and paste the pdf link I posted above to get all the info on registration and if you search Customs and Excise web site you'll find all the info you need on customs duty. Good luck Q

Sorry Dom I don't but your seller will be able to help out with all this paperwork etc in Germany. It really is dead simple.

Forgot to ask, would the TPFT insurance that you can get with the German export plate (can you?) have a minimum age on a 4x4 VW T25/T3?

Dom don't think it had a minimum age from looking at the policy but my German is not up to much. You don't get the insurance with the plates. You have to get the Insurance (which is specific for German Export Plates) first then you get the export log book when the registration is changed into your name and with that comes a registration number. Armed with this log book you trot over to the shop which makes up the plates (which will be close by) and hey presto..
