Once you flag your vehicle exported the record stays open on the DVLA so when you bring it back to England the act of MOT reopens the record. You may need to fill out some forms but the record is always there and you keep the same plates. The DVLA don't give a toss about what happens in a foreign land.
Now...i'm not so sure,,, to me a permananet export is just that, permanent. So how do you bring it back if its been permanently exported ? Well watch this space as ours is permanently exported and this is what we were told to do by the export department at the DVLA. They also said the above about MOT when you return and the record is back open. I've checked my reg on the DLVA checker and if you check yours you will note a field that is exported YES or NO. Mine says YES.
I have details for the manager of the export team. PM me if ya want it Darrin.
