and... when it gets to Poland will it be broken for parts or made into a car??  I am guessing the latter seeing how much higher European car prices are. Still a fair bit of work.

Transport would add maybe £300 to the outlay?

I guess it will be back on the road, new loom spliced in and the paintwork redone under the bonnet should see it sorted. They tend to buy them by the dozen and import them en masse so I guess it would be cheaper per car than that :-\ 

Worryingly it's perfectly possible to take a cat B out of the country then reimport/re-register it and it loses it's cat B record.

If you exported a vehicle and then re-imported it wouldn't you have to pay duty and VAT?  :-\  Or is that not applicable within the EU?  ::)  :-\

That is an easy one to answer. You only technically export it when you re register it on , in this case, Polish plates I believe. The old DVLA V5 is returned to Swansea and the vehicle eliminated from UK database. Then when it comes back to Uk it is imported when you change the plates to UK ones via the DVLA process and a new V5 is issued. Is there import duty in the UK on S/H?  If it was to Spain you don't pay import duty but a seller and buyer tax of about 7% of government book value.

My guess is it will be repaired and registered on new plates in another EU country and maybe reappear in UK with a clean bill of health. Only downside is it will be wrong side drive which discounts the sale value (harder for safe overtaking, opening car park barriers etc) in other EU countries.

the cars cost 225 another 200 on repairs and the cars worth about 800 so its a lot of messing about for a few hundred pounds.

From outside the EU yes.  For example you could buy a s/h car in Japan, ship it here and you pay Duty and VAT on the combined cost of the car, shipping and insurance.  ;)

My vectra went to copart, and then the stereo disappeared whilst in the yard before it got wrote off and then it went to Poland and was involved in an insurance scam where it was alleged I had sold it to a polish national for £4500's 😳.... they even tried to forge my signature on a sales document and even tried to pass off the accident damage it had got in Staffordshire as what had happend in to it in Warsaw Poland!!! Lol
