Hi all,
This is my first post, nice to meet you all.
So recently, I learned about a potential opportunity to import a Triumph Spitfire from Germany, to the UK. It comes from my partner’s family who want rid of it; while some members also feel bittersweet about the decision. It would be a great shame to be forced to give it up.
I’ve always dreamed of owning and working on a classic of my own, even before I got my driver’s licence, but life gets in the way and it never happened. So I am a complete newbie to this, though always had a fascination for the hobby. Not only would this be a chance to fulfil my dream, but it would also be a chance for me to bring this beauty back to life, so it can be enjoyed once again by my family who would have loved to ride in it again.
The car is a Triumph Spitfire, not sure which version as of yet. I am also told that it’s in parts but mostly complete. I am now in a race against time. Trying to figure out how to import it to the UK. I thought I would search the web for some answers and came across this forum. I really hope I would be able to contribute more in the future! Now my question is, what is the process of importing a classic in this state, especially after Brexit? It would be great to gain some insight into how difficult it would be, transportation, total cost, or perhaps any recommended companies out that help take care of everything etc.
Thank you all in advance for your responses. I really hope we can make this work, and I’d officially be in the Triumph Club 😆
All the best,
Chris
