I am looking to import a car i have bought here in U.K. and take it back to SOUTH AFRICA when I return in a few months time.
I have been in U.K. for almost 2 years, and I have a Toyota MR2 that I want to take back with me.

can some one tell me step by step what I have to do.

About five years ago I emmigrated to SA, I was desparate to take my beloved XJS with me. Looked into exporting it and after around a month of considering it gave up any hope. Risk of condition of car on arrival, cost of import duties, just the general hassle didn't add up so I sold it before I left.

I'm sure if you try hard enough it is possible, just wasn't the right thing to do for me. Back home after a year due to woman issues so it was probably best the Jag stayed here. Couldn't have faced leaving it in SA.

Good luck anyhow.

edited, just noticed the date of the OP hehe Probably back in SA now hehe
