Moving back to UK, how to take my German registered Oldtimer?

[MrVee 0]

Hi All,

 

I am moving back to the UK, and will use a removal company to take my apartment contents and my German registered oldtimer.

 

The removal company suggests keeping it registered during the move and deregistering it once I arrive in the UK. Other sources say I must export the car, and get 'Ausfuhrkennzeichen'. So do I have to deregister first, then get the Ausfuhrkennzeichen, then ship it over?

 

What should be the correct method??? If I keep it German registered and ship it to the UK, would I be creating other problems?

 

Thank you for any help

Best

Do you plan to drive it or ship it on a trailer?

Would be interested to know how you plan to transport it as I have a similar issue.

As far as I know you can drive you EU car to the UK and then convert it to a UK car as it has always been.

However, perhaps brexit, there are some changes.
