Most of us seem to think what we want NewVolvo; as for sticking to the facts: you haven't presented any, plus your views on company car structures in the UK were also lacking.

So yes, let's get the thread back on topic - my last post on the matter.

As I said, you think what you want. You have absolutely no idea of what I do nor have done and sadly neither do you have any regard for anyone else but yourself as so often proven in this forum.

I am pretty sure I was laying out the facts how it works with buying in, at least, Sweden and Germany, and importing to the UK. For the other countries I dont know (although I have a pretty good idea thanks to my friend).

Breaking the laws regarding driving an unregistred/uninsured car will not only put yourselves at risk but also others. Sounds pretty unconsiderate and egoistic in my view! But each to their own.

Regarding my views on company car structures in the UK, I did say that I haven't had a co car in the UK since 2008 and that the rules may have changes since then.

As you are bring in non-content stuff into yet another thread, may I remind you that you once called my swedish family for nazis due to the Swedes having to help them whether we wanted or not, its called neutrality...

Hi

Thank you both....!

I'll DM, but how much might I expect to pay for shipping from Vancouver to UK, probably RORO rather than container?

Does anyone know how many 780s have been registered in the UK?

I am aware of two - one sold by H&H, though that was only MOT'd for a couple of years

I know that US headlights were a different Spec to the Euro cars - any other significant differences?

I'll think of more questions - Does anyone have a guide as to how much I should pay for shipping and associated services?

I first saw a 780 in a Paris Volvo dealer in 1987 I think - have there been any detailed books that are worth buying?
