Getting my TVR to Germany
Discussion
Hello all,
I’m working out in Germany for a while.
I had the idea to bring my Tuscan out for the summer (<4months) however the first transport company I have spoken to reckon I have some customs implications if they bring it? Obviously none if I fly home and drive it out but I’m not sure I want to do that/have time.
Is he mistaken? He’s talking about dropping it at Dover, driving onto ferry and driving off again in Calais - he seems to be making a big deal about nothing but maybe I’m wrong!
Any information would be excellent.

Hi mate, sorry for the slow reply.
It turns out there are some customs issues to overcome, maybe only post Brexit? Looks to be about 400EUR or so.
The big transport companies sort this out for you but with added costs and they seem expensive to start with - obviously comparing to a 'man with van' outfit.
So, flights booked, I'll go home and get it and suck up the 14hour mostly motorway journey next weekend!!
Thanks for your information, much appreciated.

Just resurrecting an oldish thread but wondered if you applied for a Green Emissions sticker or just risked it for a biscuit? Did you go with ADAC for breakdown cover as well? Im not too stressed about the oily bits of my car as its been rebuilt recently but thinking more along the lines of a puncture and im only carrying the emergency foam in a can
I looked into the Nationwide Flex account but you need to be a UK resident for atleast 6+ months a year, which isnt going to be applicable to me for the foreseeable future.
Thanks
With regards to breakdown, I actually have a Nationwide Flex Plus Acc, so that done the job for me.
