Relocating to the UK

Postby c500user » 28 Jan 2022, 11:21

Hi,

We are relocating to the UK from Australia. I have RHD L2H1 Sprinter with docking station, 4 point tie downs and hydraulic lift that I bought new 2 years ago. It has done less than 10000kms. It is of course Australian spec.

Does anybody know:
a. Can I import the car into the UK as is? Or does it need to be made "UK compliant"? Or is it not possible at all?
b. What kind of costs are involved? I don't mean shipping it from here to the UK, but import duties and other taxes.
c. What the costs would be for a similar van in the UK. Mine is a 319 L2H1, Braun Century lift, Dahl 200kg 4 point tie downs + seat belt, Permolock docking station.

Thanks

LHD or RHD is pretty unimportant. As for tax etc not a clue. Buying new here will not be cheap. About the same as Aus. The gov here are busily attempting to get all petrol or deisel cars off the road with attacks in every possible way from fuel costs to MOTs, clean air charges beng introduced and charges per mile used, heavy taxation, etc etc.
