Importing a scooter

[KhonJaiYen]

I'm wondering if any of the members have any insights into importing a scooter from the UK. I have a 1965 Lambretta SX200, but don't know how to start or even if it is possible. Also, if I can get it imported how do you go about getting it registered.

Thanks in advance for any information.

I would just keep it way it is.

Importing vehicles is fraught with problems and if a Customs official takes a shine to it...what can you do?

Add in the issues of keeping a 2T going as the country is moving to gasohol.

Do you have

[IMHO]

You didn't mention which customs official you wanted to give it to - I assume you have one in mind?

Once you got it in country (if you get it pass customs) you would need to go to a Thai Transportation office to get it inspected and pay tax (over and above the import tax) to get a green book and license plate. When you add up all the costs you could buy a couple new bikes here. Just sell your bike in the UK.

If you want a classic and not a new bike you can check this website.
