"Temporary" carnet du passage for Iran

[popotla]

I wish I could provide some info about this but, sorry, it's a question. (I've searched for answers but find I need to post.)

I'm in Germany, want to get my Land Rover to Oman, where it's registered. Via Iran is the only feasible route I'm aware of (other than shipping).

I came through Iran on the way to Europe but my carnet du passage expired on 02 May 2012. Getting an extension, or a new one, could well be tricky. (Even trying get a reply to an Email sent to the Oman AA is an art form in itself.)

What is the likelihood of being able to arrange "temporary import" at an Iranian border? I read things like "sometimes possible", "has been done" and so one. What does a "yes" or a "no" depend on? If I'm at the border and it's a "no" day, I can't just try the next street along.

Comments and suggestions warmly welcomed.

Thanks!

But you WILL NEED A CARNET

Dakar Pirate,
Thanks for your reply. You are more concerned about my problem than the Oman Automobile Association, who choose to ignore my Emails. (Hopeless ***** ** *******. I lived there for eight years; have some insight into the matter.)

I've been to the website and had a look round. Under "Recaf Automobile and Things", for example, there's no info. Where exactly should I be looking? Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply.
Carnet definitely needed for Iran.
I have tried to find out they have a deposit scheme like Egypt,but no definitive answer on this question.
I wish to ride through Iran and the RAC no longer do carnets apparently.
If you get no joy.
Just say "**** it" and turn up at the border with all the paper work you have and see what happens.
Good luck.
