They are not cheap here, the new ones are £40k, the old ones not far behind.

Does anyone know if you can use a V561 Certificate of Permanent Export to register a car in Ontario once it gets here?

I damn well lost the V5, one of the kids shredded it, so have applied to Swansea for a V561 so I can register my car in Ontario as the DVLA was notified by the tear off strip the car was exported.

But I don't know anyone else who has used a V-561 before in Canada instead of the V5.

I don‘t know about other provinces, but any vehicle brought into Saskatchewan from out of province has to pass a safety inspection, (which costs a bit) before it can be licensed, and very few over 10 years old make the grade.

Default Re: Another car thread. Over 15 years old.

Sorry for raising an old thread but i'd like to put my VW Multivan weekender in a container and bring it with me.

I have had a price for putting it in a container to Vancouver but want to know if when i pick it up from customs could i then put the rest of my stuff from the container back in to my van once it has cleared customs and drive it to Calgary on Jersey number plates? I would need to obtain insurance from a Canadian insurance company (does anyone have any recommendations?) i know.

Can anyone think of any problems with my plan?

Thanks.

Mike.
