Default Is it possible to import a uk road-legal quad bike?

Anyone have any info on this?

Does it come under the same rules as for importing cars - import tax, etc?

Cheers,
Bill

Much easier to sell it in the UK and buy another here , cheaper here as well.

Cheaper here?

Not from what I've seen.

Can pick up a used 4WD quad on ebay uk for well under a grand.

Not seen one under about three grand over here.

I was thinking it might be cost-effective to buy one in uk and have it brought over on the back of a lorry as a part-load - around one cubic metre.
I want it primarily for use on the land but if it could be made road-legal over here then all the better.

Checkout the following sites,

www.segundamano.es

www.milanuncios.com

Dont forget youve got to get it here , buy a headlight, maybe a speedo in KMH, do the tyres have E markings ? pay a gestor plus registration fee`s ,and if its not got a type approval number then it may be a no no.

Plus it will be RHD

It depends on whether it is RHD or LHD

I was thinking of sending my XJR1300 over, but I havent looked into it yet. So I will keep a eye on this thread.
