    M3 is a good example. Here in Germany . e92 M3 here 35-50.000.
    I bought mine in Uk for 9K, last week another one for 8k.
    Only the engine is 15.000 here.

      Yes, sir. Parts business cars from UK is an age old thing - many of the junkyards here in Estonia have cars from UK (or to that extent - also Japan) for parts.
      Not too long ago I was discussing the same thing you brought out with a mechanic I know. He was thinking on buying a C5 RS6 - cheapest ones start from £6000 and based on his opinion the engine alone is 6000€.
      My main take was from the perspective of an individual like me who just wants to buy a car for personal use.

    It's great to see a detailed account of your experience exporting cars from the UK to Europe. Your insights could be even more valuable if you included a brief comparison with other modes of car exportation, or if you discussed the regulatory changes post-Brexit in more depth. This would provide a more comprehensive understanding for viewers who might be considering similar endeavors.

      Whereas your comment and attention to this video is much appreciated, the questions in your comment sorely point out that you really did not watch any of the video.
      Most if not all is on screen in plain numbers @ 1:38.
      Granted in Estonian but paraphrasing the words of famous Jules Winnfield: "Estonian, m*th*rf***r, do you speak it?
      I happen to know you do.
      In addition to that, what could be considered "regulatory" is discussed multiple times over and over in this video in spoken language. Also, I took time to display a couple of documents one does need to know about when exporting a car from the UK @ 8:19 & 9:59 and gave an oral explanation to why these documents are or might be important. Adding to that, I stress at least 3-4 times on what are the minimal physical changes for a car which are needed to register the car in Europe based on my experience with Estonia (also displayed clearly - in Estonian - @ 1:38).
      Lastly, I point out many times that this is just my experience, it is not a blueprint to everyone and the experience can and will vary mostly based on the location the car is headed to but there are some obvious other factors (if you listened to me in the first place) to which I can not give concrete, black and white explanations to. I have (managed) to do it the way I explain, I can not guarantee the same outcome to anyone else.
      Hence, like I started - do appreciate the comment and the attention commited to my work but...
      Maybe pay attention (LISTEN!) to the video first.
      Thank you.

      No problem.
      First joy is creating the content but even bigger one is when someone finds it valuable in some way.
      Thank you for watching and commenting.

    There is many french, german or american cars worth buying.
    So the wheel is on the left side.
    I was just interested in what registering agencies were asking as documents like yearly check MOT and emisions, custom duty tax and VAT.
    But thank you for sharing, i appreciate it!

      Documents: I registered one previous car in Estonia after Brexit. I had the V5C on my name in the UK. In addition to that I had to pay the taxes which are customs duty + VAT (I think). So, I had the UK ownership papers and I had papers from the Tax & Customs office that all the duties are paid. That is it - in addition to making the car compliant by changing the headlights.
      I just recently got the car on the thumbnail pre-registering inspected. All I would need to do is to change the headlights and put the rear fog light (which they already added in the UK) to the other side. Even though it is a JDM car it seems the checks are less stringent when the car is already registered in the UK than just taking a car out of a container.

    Glad to see borderforce doing such a great job letting uninsurred cars with no proof of registration or ownership out of the country without checking if they are stolen.
    Please bring a trailer next time and dont drive uninsured. I was hoping this would tell me which is the easiest euro country to move my collection to, import costs / difficulties and ongoing taxes.

    • @JJsAutomotive

      www.gov.uk/responsibilities-selling-vehicle - can you leave just before or right after 8 weeks of waiting for the letter to arrive and be opened in Swansea? Or there is somewhere a rapid carrier pigeon service?
      The ownership transfers as the slip is filled and transaction completed. If it is legally viewed in any other way in the UK then good luck buying/selling anything and then driving it away the same day. Not before the pigeon arrives in Swansea. For the rest of it, you must have wanted to understand something the wrong way.
      As to "optimizing" your own collection movement I advise looking south east Europe and possibly to the non-EU states. They are more likely to be less protectionist towards import. In EU regardless of the country you are looking at an import tax of a varying degree.

    Thanks for the good video, however keep in mind that you can get into a lot of trouble without the insurance. But you are right, it is ridiculous, a 3 day car insurance could even be £250. Keep up the good work!

      Thank you for watching the video and supportive message.
      What comes to insurance, all I am saying is that I do not have a reasonable solution myself. That is why the title says it is "my experience" and I try to stress that I am not trying to give someone a blueprint but I am only explaining how I have done it.

    Is there any way to get the car on your name and leaving the country with it without using a UK address im not from UK and i dont know how to go around this

      DISCLAIMER: THIS POST INCLUDES CREATIVE OUT-OF-THE-BOX IDEAS WHICH ARE FOR THEORY EXERCISE ONLY. THIS IS NOT MY OFFICIAL POSITION, JUST A CREATIVE THOUGHT EXERCISE.
      SO, IN THEORY - since the only way registration documents are handled is via letter then - OK, BEAR IN MIND - THIS GHETTO AF - then you could put your address as some hotel address or some other official place where they will most likely a) destroy the letter or b) send it back to the sender. This way the car would be on your name in the registry and the documents will exist and won't end up in the wrong hands. DVLA has other forms - I personally have used V756 "Application for a ‘Certificate of Permanent Export’ (V561) when you do not have a vehicle registration certificate (V5C)". The world is your oyster.
      BUT as far as I know do get the UK documents you need a UK address where these could be sent to and the documents take like 3-6 weeks to arrive (from experience). Having no documents is a gamble of a prospect. Internet exist - just make an UK friend.
