Ok I have spent two years looking for my baby. It has got to the stage that my wife begs me to have an affair or take up golf, anything except 60 series Landcruisers.
I have two winches, spotlights, an Engel fridge (75 quid off Gumtree chuffed with that) and so much more stuff that I actually cannot remember buying some of it.
All I need is one small thing, a flippin Land cruiser to put it on.
I bought one unseen which to be honest to the seller was exactly as he described. I just did not choose to listen. It is a good base it just needs more time than I have at the moment to give it.
So not wanting to make it too easy for myself I have found one in Devon, only problem is it is not registered here yet. It was brought back from South Africa and put into storage for a little while.
So having done a bit of research I realise that import duty is due on it. Does anyone know how HMRandC works out the value of the vehicle. The seller cannot provide any invoices from when he bought it in SA.
I assume the duty due will be 10% of value with vat on top of everything. I wonder if the age will make any difference to the values.
I cannot get a sensible answer off HM minions because I assume they do not know.
I am hoping that as most of the forum seems to be from SA ( I want to thankyou for the Sharks cheerleaders ) somebody has done this and can advise me.
Thanks Derek
