Thanks Rob

I'll keep an eye on it. I wonder what the postage would be to Spain on it?

That nice Mr Omegatoy might also be interested to add to his fleet as it is an oil burner.

V :y

Hmm cud be interested but here is the kicker!!!
Spain or at least here in malaga, will not register a french car here!!! you have to register it in england then reregister it in spain, which you cannot do till you have owned it for a year or more!! its a bit of a catch22 situation to be honest, however in uk on 14th, I may just have a look at it while there!!! :y

oh yes- my omega has come from Switzerland which is outside the EU so i have to pay import duty on a 10 year old car because i haven't owned it for 1 year! not to mention CO2 emmissions tax, by the end this car will have cost me! >:(

Bottawallaloaducks this "red tape beaurocracy" is............

Are you telling me you get "taxed" on having the car, taxed to buy the car, and taxed to run the car too.........??

It will be half way through its year of sorting at the hands of Wellung 666 by next May.

That isn't the half of the red tape. It is quite conceivable that someone hasn't been paying their French road fund tax or other bills for two years and the new owner will get lamped when they (sorry he- Wellung) tries to transfer to British plates.

smartypants!! it says in uk on 14th, I may just go and look at it!! its a saloon though so my interest is minimal tbh

dont think that applies in uk seller states he has the paperwork for changin to another european country so taxes will have been paid to get that!, and am sure that dlva just wants you to pay for thier tax anyway!!

Omegatoy Shhhs. Keepa low profile. Don't want to scare Wellung off. He has just bid £102 .

If you are reading this Wellung. I have made a bed up for you Oct 20th 2011. I realise it is a long time away but today it was a lovely day. 23 deg C, warm dry evening.. No reason to suspect it won't be next year.
