European Transport Case Studies
Nicki & Ian Wood
Nicki & Ian Wood contacted us to transport their recently purchased Buick Skylark from Langeskov, Denmark. After liaising with the Danish dealer, a collection date was agreed and their vehicle was the first to be collected on one of our regular trips out to Europe. Owing to the size of the vehicle, we made sure we collected their car in the right order with others, to make sure it was positioned in the correct space within one of our 6 car trailers. Nick & Ian kept up to date by viewing live tracking of our truck, making it’s way across the North Sea on the ferry, through Denmark and then during the return leg before we delivered to them in the UK. HGV access was tricky close to their home, so we agreed a nearby location to drop off that worked for both parties. We thoroughly enjoyed transporting this car for Nicki & Ian and hope they enjoy many happy miles in their new classic.
Barton Racing & Toyota Gazoo Racing
We were contacted by Barton Racing to collect their new Supra GT4 racing car from Toyota Gazoo Racing, near Cologne, Germany. This project also had the challenge of a comprehensive collection of spares to accompany the vehicle. We set aside two spaces in one of our 6 car enclosed trailers to make sure there was enough room for everything we needed to transport back to the UK. The vehicle and parts were also imported under a limited company, so we organised a PVA clearance on the UK CDS system with our in house customs team. This meant the import VAT for the vehicle and spares was posted to the company’s next VAT return, rather than having to transact upfront during entrance to the UK. Given we also transported parts with the vehicle, it was essential that the delivery details were all agreed and the team at Barton Racing knew exactly when we would arrive so they could be ready to offload. We wish Barton Racing good luck in the future and hopefully many victories!
Kate Miles
Kate contacted My Car Import following tracking down her perfect Jaguar XJS. Formerly a US vehicle, now located in the Netherlands, the car had always lived in a warm climate and therefore the bodywork was in very good condition. Although many XJS are available to purchase in the UK, this one stood out for Kate and we were very happy to help collect it from the Netherlands for her. Kate also opted to use our UK testing and registration service, so the car was delivered to our facility in Castle Donington, where it will undergo MOT testing, followed by DVLA registration, meaning the car will be taxed, plated and ready for UK roads when she chooses to collect from us, or have it delivered to her UK address. We’re sure the XJS will cover many more miles in the UK and Kate will enjoy her tenure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you collect my car?
We typically work 1-2 weeks ahead for collections and deliveries in Germany. Following your enquiry, we’ll be sure to let you know the next available moving dates.
Do you collect using enclosed trailers?
Yes, all of our trailers are enclosed. This ensures optimal security and protection for your vehicle whilst in transit to and from Germany. We take no chances with your precious vehicle.
Is my vehicle insured whilst being transported?
Absolutely! We hold comprehensive insurance for all of the vehicles we transport in our enclosed trailers. If your vehicle is of very high value, please let us know when you enquire so we can ensure we have the appropriate cover in place.
Can you help to register our car in the UK?
Yes! A key aspect of our business is the official importation and registration of vehicles in the UK. When you’re enquiring, make sure you inform us that you’d like a quote for this.
Do you keep us updated with progress?
We always want you to know our plan for your vehicle. That’s why our office team provides regular updates to you ahead of collection, during transit and before delivery.

Do you organise export and import paperwork?
Our price is inclusive of all paperwork needed to successfully export and import vehicles to and from Germany.
