I want to sell my English camper...
The question
I am based in Northern Ireland and want to sell my Vauxhall Vivaro campervan. It was professionally converted in England and still has English plates. I bought it in October 2023 from England and brought it over myself by ferry. What would a buyer from the South have to do if they purchased it? Would it make a difference if it was registered as a campervan on the UK logbook? It is currently registered as a light goods van. Would it make a difference if I got a motor vehicle engineer (SQI) to do a Declaration of Conversion?

Hi Rachel,
As it stands, the vehicle would be treated as a van on importation unless the UK logbook is changed in the UK to reflect the conversion. Importing from Northern Ireland can be complicated now so it's worth reading our Guide to importing a car from Northern Ireland.
