After many hurdles, today the Mean Sweed Machine finaly went to the special MOT. First it was like the regular MOT but they went through my papers confirming the vin, block number etc.
Then it was the emissions test, which I was a bit afraid of, because the car's official papers will have to have the rela values, since the coc doesn't have the factory emission values.
The guy was very impressed with the emission test. It came out at 366g/km (official value is 244). He said he was expecting at least 500 or more, especially for a car with such high milleage. My answer was: "regular maintenance".
Hopefully now it's just a matter of days to a couple weeks max until I have Portuguese plates, granted nothing goes wrong with the paperwork I present., since I'm asking for a tax exemption on importation. There shouldn't be any issues, but you never know. I will celebrate when the process is finished.
