Late pickup

Going to view this tomorrow, I lost out on eBay but the winner never came back with the cash so the guy offered it to me, had a feeling exactly this would happen!

My main concern is its a left hooker and doesn't appear to have a reg number,
he's got a birth certificate and from what I understand it would need MOT to register it?
What would happen if it turned out not to have had import duty paid, is that even a possibility?

 

I'd best get some logs ordered - when can you deliver ?

 

Single cab Bern, get a whole tree's worth on!

 

Looks interesting Duncan - is this your new career beginning ?

 

I saw that on ebay and thought it went for a little more than it should, it looks to be a Swedish bus and they are generally more solid than most, the left hand drivey ness is not an issue, the import duty is only an issue if the country of origin is outside the EU.

get the m mode plate details and this will tell you country of origin, then a birth certificate from vw will be required to prove its age to register it, no proof of age will q plate it , but if you later can prove its age you can have the q plate removed and a proper reg issued

 

Any ideas of the country of origin?

 

I guess sweden

 

Thanks for the info, I'll report tomorrow night with more!
Hoping to do a bit of bargaining but its got type4 2.0ltr in and is worth it in bits!

 

Hm, garage would be handy though!

 

My money is on Germany.



I'll fetch my coat.....

 

engines only worth money if its good , if its duff its £500.

 

Plus gearbox, cab doors, drop sides etc!
Looks far too good to break tho.

 

and if your eagle eyed on the ebay add its got an over sized washer bottle

 

how much was it....?

be careful, you never know if you were bidding with the seller on his "other" id...

 

if you do end up breaking it can i have 1st dibbs on the rh dropside please

 

Don't you still have to declare 'duty paid' in country of origin? My van bought in 2003 had come to UK from South Africa via Sweden as Sweden had an agreement back then with SA and a very low tax and duty threshold. When I registered it I had to supply the original Swedish registration document which by default declared that any VAT or duty was paid in country of origin (Sweden). My understanding is that the same applies, if you can't provide evidence that duty is paid in country of origin, EU or not, you will have to pay the duty.

Would you really want to buy it without any form of registration documentation, even a photo copy?

 

Yes, you're right, VAT or equivalent is still applicable, but goods moving from one EU country to another are not subject to import duty.

 

BOOM! and he's back.
