Hi,
I have just bought a M3W. It is presently in Revolutions in Perth (Scotland), with some parts off to see Mr Bleazey and assorted other parts being fitted and fettled.
Revolutions came recommended by Calum for his routine chassis changes.
I live, and am resident, in Portugal and have no UK residency or property.
To export the car, I will need to insure it for the UK part of the journey. I then need insurance that is EU valid for a few months while the car (apparently it's actually classified as a motorbike in Portugal?) is imported, tested and registered locally in Portugal.
The registration process can take anything from a few days to many months and the car apparently cannot be insured by a Portuguese insurance company until it has it's local registration certificate/number plate.
I am told this last piece is correct and have not been able to find if there is a Portuguese company that would insure a UK registered car for a resident of Portugal. ??
Anyone done this before and suggestions for insurance companies, hints and tips, ways of doing this without bankruptcy?
Many thanks
