old car, on trailer customs wont care less. customs are only bothered if its a new car and if the vat has been paid. if your that bothered put english plates on. they would be more bothered if you had 200 cigs in the boot.
ring dvla ask them if a receipt of sale is enough to register it when its here.
i bought an integrale from paris, customs wasnt interested, waved me through, bloke behind me in a ferrari 355 from italy not interested in him either.
imported a 131 from usa, slightly different but not impossible,
As regards contacting the seller use a translator out of the yellow pages, its more personal. they can explain themselves better represent you in a more profesional manor, hence get taken more seriously.
i can only just make myself understood in my own langauge, imagine translating to french, then the french guy doing the same, hope this helps
regards sach
