1965 Lotus Seven - Registration

By elsawi

Hello All,

I've just imported my 1965 Lotus Seven from the U.S. (see image). The car is fully street legal in the states with a valid title and license plate. Does anyone have any information about the process for registering the vehicle in qatar. Is it the same as regular vehicles (Technical Inspection, etc), or is there a different route since it's a very old car.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Khaled

Thanks Martin. I'll start with the traffic department then. I'm sure it'll probably fail for a dozen reasons, then I start going to work on it.

Brit: will Colin be turning to take a better look ;)

It's a very light vehicle, so that translates to lots of speed. Any ideas about the registration process for such an old vehicle?
