Thanks Craig for the last lot of info.

We were also looking at shipping our motorhome over. It's a 2004 Benimar Anthus 6000LD (7 birth), 45k miles, built on a Fiat Ducato chassis with a 2.8JTD engine. Approx value in the UK is £18-20k. Has cab air con.

Would it be worth shipping?

Cheers

Hi Iron Chef

My wife, children and I are looking at emigrating next year and are getting all the usual things in order and one of the things we've been considering is our cars, motorhome and a motorcycle and hey presto, I see your thread.

My car is a 2008 (08) Ford Focus 1.8TDCI Ghia, 5 door estate, manual, silver, aircon, 60k miles and valued realistically at approx £6000.

My wife's car is a 2003 (53) Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i T3, 5 door hatchback, manual, red, 60k miles, no air con and valued at £2000.

Also I have a custom built chopper (Harley based, but not a Harley) that I would like to take over. What's the deal with motorcycles, as I read somewhere that due to Australia not manufacturing motorcycles, the import tax is lower than it is for cars, is that true? How would they go about valuing it?

Is there any chance you could let me know which category the cars fall into and any info/advice for importing my bike?

There's also our motorhome, but I'll ask about that later.
