_shaun_ Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Yea I done a guide for it awhile back but am on myPhone right now. Sure it was called a brief guide to importing . Your looking at around 25% in import tax and there's some paperwork to handle you can do it urself but trying to speak and get confirmation is a total nightmare I ended up paying an agent at the docs like 100quid to handle it all basically ment I could just send a transporter to collect the car soon as it was past customs. Only thing to watch is make sure you U have all the money sitting if you cant pay on time you'll likely lose the car talking to a guy that does it and he said there's basicaly a few places around the uk that are just filled with cars that are in limbo because they weren't payed for on time so can't be collected or anything done with them.Don't let that put you off if your keen with money ready it's a great way I got mine no Hastle at all aside from the uk paperwork until I have it to an agent todo. The car was superb and I got it at a really decent price sadly sold it to buy my house which I regret atleast once a week ha! Edited May 1, 2015 by _shaun_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Aye can do mate to be honest theres not much to it. Once it's paid they arrange for it to go on a boat then it's just a case of painfully waiting with the ships info you can track it all the way round the world tho ha! Think I checked it almost everyday! Mine got stuck In Ireland for a few days because of bad weather the wait nearly killed me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
