Importing a race car from Europe

[gavin wot]

I've used the search function and couldn't find anything on this, in regards to customs duties etc,

Has anyone recent experience of bringing a race car from Europe into the UK, and specifically Northern Ireland.

It's a certified race car, was never a road car,

I'll be bringing it back through Calais,

Thanks in advance,

Yeah I’ve looked at the Cherbourg to rosslare sailing, but lack of availability is an issue,

Yes I think Northern Ireland is the key difference, my concern would be confusion at Calais or Folkestone, having to pay VAT or import duty, and not getting it back!
