Looking to import a 1979 motor bike from the UK.
Hi,
I am thinking about buying a vintage motorbike from the UK but having trouble working out the import charges. It's a 1979 bike so I believe this is exempt from paying VRT but not sure if I will need to pay VAT or any other customs charges once I have transported it over?
The bike is £1,500. Would you be able to advise me?
Thanks

Hi,
I was thinking about adding a rear seat to a 2012 Land Rover Defender, going from commercial to either private or crew cab. Can you advise what would the implications be?

Can I bring a motorhome through the North to England?
I have a UK-reg motorhome with a logbook at an English address; I'm looking at how I can move the car to Portugal through NI to reduce import duties in Portugal.

Looking to buy a compact automatic car...
I am looking to buy an automatic small car as my first car. My partner has a small manual Toyota Aygo and we think it would make sense for my car to be bigger/or with a bigger engine anyway so that we can use it for longer journeys and have the Aygo for around the city (Dublin).
We have been looking between years of 2012-2018 at the Peugeot 208, Renault Clio, MINI Cooper, Volkswagen Polo/Golf, Audi A1 and Hyundai i20/i30... but we are stuck and getting more and more confused...
We were leaning towards the Peugeot/Renault because of great prices/low mileage but we don't know what to do.
Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thoughts on the 2023 Renault Arkana?
I'd like your thoughts on the 2023 Renault Arkana E-Tech. I'm reading a bit online about fuel pump failures, erratic alarm activations and heater matrix faults. I really like the styling and the tech in this variant. Do you think I should avoid it?

Can I power my house from a Cupra Tavascan?
You mentioned in your review of the Cupra Tavascan about connecting to power your house. What equipment would be needed? Currently have a Kia EV6 with V2L so is that possible with the Cupra?
