Hi all,

Just wondering if I buy a car (a newly restored classic mustang) in CA and have it sent straight to the port for export to the uk, do I have to pay sales tax?

-Is sales tax charged on old vehicles? -I'm not sure if it qualifies since its more a total rebuild.

-and is there a mechanic to reclaim sales tax for foreigners?

The car is already more expensive then some that are already in the uk so the sales tax could actually be a deal breaker on this, especially give the amount of tax I'd have to pay to get it into the uk!

Any thoughts would be handy!

Cheers!
