Here is the car 12 months down the line and fully restored,<br>The book and number plate was the easy part.

Can you have another go at posting a pic as would love to see how it turned out. Cost?

Sure -

Looks great - congratulations.

If you don't mind, I'm sure many posters would be interested in the costs involved:

i.e.

1) What did the car cost you in the UK (or UK Value).

2) What did the Customs value it at? and what did you Pay (i.e. 10% of what ??) etc etc ?

I might be very interested in doing the something very similar...

So far as i know, they changed the law on April 2012, No more used car import and no more used motorbikes import anymore. Doesn't matter if you are willing to pay the high costs. It's not possible anymore!

Import licence stated the value at 300 GBP so that limited C&E involvement. Then add CIF (Car value + Insurance + Freight) and apply 218%. Thats what C&E will pay to the goverment, 118000 THB in this case.

Tea money is what you agree to and not able to discuss openly as it's illegal.

The book cost 20,000 THB and the car reistration may be changed to any province now - at the moment its in Rayong as being one of the most "Friendly" licence departments.

The car may not be sold for 3 years - but it will never be up for sale so it really doesn't matter.

450,000 THB might be mentioned elsewhere as the total cost?

The importer may have accepted this cost prior to importing the car and felt the end justified the means?
