HI
This is my first official post on the main site and i am going to start with a request for help and advice.
As i am sure you have all seen on the for sale section Rowan has a 4 awaiting someone brave to fly down to italy and collect it from umbria.
I think i am that person
However
i have a couple of questions for you seasoned owners.
I am contemplating flying down with my other half and spending a week in Umbria and getting a local garage to service the car and replace the tyres before driving home.
Firstly do i need a continental version of an MOT done pre driving home ?
If so what is it ? what should it cost ?
If no, can i just start driving it home subject to my insurance co being happy ?
when i get back (please note level of optimism) to the uk what do i have to do upon arrival in the uk?
can i get off the tunnel and go home then mot it?
Do i have any duties/taxes to pay ?
as you can see i am a little green when it comes to things like this but i have the scent of adventure in my nostrils and can not wait.
Please repond! the more advice i recieve the happier and more confident i will be about going to umbria
