Importing a car from Europe, legal gubbins.
Discussion
Sorry in advance as I guess this has been done to death over the years, but I can't find much on it and have never imported a car before.
It's in The Netherlands and I hope to fly there, take a look, drive back (ferry), I'm not looking for travel info, more 'paperwork' import costs etc.
What import costs and problems am I likely to face? At the moment a bit of research has thrown up the need for the original bill of sale when the car was new to prove that the taxes (VAT) were paid. I'm waiting for the vendor to get back to me on that, but can predict it being a problem - at least it would be if you were buying a car over here, how many old cars still have their original bill of sale in the history?!
Anything else to be aware of? All help appreciated, even if it's just a helpful link.
