Importing Vintage car From UK to Mauritius

Hello,

Procedures for  importing a second-hand car :

The age of the car should be not less than 18 months and not more than 48 months at the time of the shipment.
An import permit is need prior to shipment.

No CO2 Emission Certificate is required for a vintage car.
"Classic or vintage motor car" means a motor car which has been registered before 1st January 1970.
***

Please advise that it's not possible to import a car over 48 months old.

Hi

for a normal second hand car importation , it should be
18 months and not more than 48 months .

But for a vintage car, the car should be
dated year 1976 (40 year).

Docs to be provided should be
the proforma invoice with current value + Hose power.

Hello all. As a current UK resident.. And ready to retire to paradise.
I'd like to k ow more about car imports.
I like classic cars. As well as current models.

When can I research official government information.. the chat rooms are so confusing and contradict themselves

If importing a classic vehicle 1976  from USA with steering wheel on opposite site as in Mauritius , is it required to have the steering wheel repositioned for Mauritian standards?

I think  (no 100% sure) but I think all vehicle have to be Right Hand Drive.
But before you do.. there maybe a huge tax bill to do the import!
A friend of mine has a car on the sea. But he isnt going to import it now.
It's being sentstraight back to Europe.  The wanted 63 000 euro in tax!

Morning, we have a 1988 Mistubishi jeep, wright hand drive.  Please can anyone give me feed back with importing this when we move?  Thank you Natasha
