Overland Trip back to SA - Paperwork and costs?
Hi All
I am in the ealry planning phase and am thinking about buying s 4x4 truck (I have a family) to take a slow year to drive from London to Cape Town. Thus teh truck (vehicle) will be UK registered on departure but once in South Africa, I will re-register it there. Effectively I will be exporting the vehicle from the UK.
However if the truck option is to expensive we might end up getting a Landrover 130 with roof top tents (hard for such a long period)
I hold a South African passport and it is my intention to not come back to the UK with the truck. And as I will have owned the truck for more than 12 months before I enter back into SA I would not need to pay import duties into South Africa.
Currently I am planning to enter Africa via Egypt (coming down via Turkye / Syria & Israel) and then Sudan; Ethiopia; Kenya; Tanzania; Zambia; Zimbabwe; Angola; Namibia and South Africa.
What are my cost / paperwork decisions?
What paperwork / costs do I need to have?
What would be the impact if the truck is not new and valued at say only £1,000?
Apologies for all the questions - But the more I read the more confused I get!
Any help would be appreciated!!
Regards
Gerard
