Figures still missing:
– other costs (bringing the vespa from the nearest port to your door’s home),
– french import duty, I assume at least 25% 🙁
– any import policy.
The person I’ve discussed with has been shipping some scooter to USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Portugal and Norway.
At the end it’s only money problem….
Problem No 2 insurance and papers
In order to drive or even insured these beautiful vehicles, we need some legal papers.
I’ve contact the FFVE (La Fédération Française des Véhicules d’Epoque):
“Your vehicle must be older than 25 years in order to be elligible for a “carte grise de collection” We need also the vehicle indonesian papers (translate by an authorized person = 100$ or more), and the formular 846A given by the border authority. Add to this a free formular and
your reglement 45 euro“
