Expired Carnet in KTM
I have a friend who has bought a GB registered bike here in KTM, it was ridden out here by the previous owner and the carnet expired waaaay back! She knew this when she bought it and is willing to chance her arm driving around Nepal with it- the previous owner had been doing this for 3 years no probs.
Question is, if she now wants to go legit, ( as she plans to take it to India) what are the options? The previous owner has obviously forfeited his bond with the RAC. So would they now be willing to issue a new carnet with a new bond? The V5 will be in my friend's name.
I fear it won't be as easy as writing to Mr Gowan and asking for a new carnet...
Even if she then gets a new carnet, there is the issue of getting an import stamp put into it...as we know anything is possible in this part of the world.
Any thoughts appreciated.
