General New Serbian Quota

[gibanitza]

That's a very good question!!! Really don't know, I think they are stored somewhere at dealer's sheds or something like that. Demand for these parts is very low so I recon dealers would be very happy to change Van parts for passenger car replacements...

Task for Tomorrow. Find out what happens to them. and the two words banned are "scrap" and "yard"

Shall we have a whip round and buy Jim a transit?

I kinda missed me getting roped into this one!

Love the fact that anything that involves 'mad' and travel and pandas always gets my name added to it, thanks!

(Makes me feel dead adventureous rather than someone who asks 'do you want a bag with that' all day, hehe)

Well, I got some new informations:

1. Whole package (kit) for converting to Panda Van costs about 50€ and there are a couple of kits ready.

2. I've dialed some numbers to find out the procedure on how to export unregistered vehicles from Serbia and I got dizzy and also got some stomach troubles 'cause of idiotic bureaucracy so I can advise you to stay away from that idea.

On the other hand it is quite simple to export already registered vehicle, all you need is proof of sales (in Netherlands this proof/contract is used as legal paper at their's DVLA, don't know about GB) and permission to drive the car given by owner, all sorted in about an hour...

Ok....serious question.....can you send the van kit to the UK?????

I think a few of us would want one each....i definitely do!!!!!

thanks kev

 

[gibanitza]

At the moment I am kinda swamped with daily duties... I'll have more time after 15th of March...

I guess it can be done without troubles... Maybe we can make further arrangements via email exchange to avoid "spamming" this topic?

:yeahthat:

We're interested in a few! Could do a bulk order and get it delivered to one member and they could bring to the June meet?

 

[CLXCraig]

If we were to do this. Working for an import/export company i'd make sure i get the business Could get a few delivered for a cost if you wanted or just bring them to June meet.

 

[gibanitza]

Ok,

Well, first, we have to arrange some sort of transport... I've heard there is an organized Van based transport between London and Belgrade (I'll get the contact number, one of my friends has recently imported Reliant Robin from UK ).

Second, what is your idea on settling expenses? I've never done something similar...

Third, I can take a picture of all parts of the kit so you'll know what it looks like...

Maybe the best thing is to come in March or April to Belgrade where you can have a nice mug of beer near the river in idyllic spring surrounding

There are loads of "Groupage" services london to belgrade and back. Packing is a must though, dont want any getting damaged. For custom purposes an invoice has to be used. So if you say your selling to me then i pay you. I think what can be done is each pay for parts n then split the transport costs. between whoever is buying one

 

[gibanitza]

Well then we know how to "ship" it to UK.

The problem is about invoice and payment I guess... These parts are mostly at the scrapyards (ups, is that a banned word?) and they won't usually give you receipts... So I am curious what type of invoice do you need for your customs?

So, from my point of view plan looks like this: I'll have to go to seller's place, pay for the parts and then pack it up and load it to the van with invoice... I really want to know how are you going to send money to me (I don't mean to be impolite and I really do want to help but we Serbs are very cautious when it comes down to finances)...

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

So when they convirt these Panda's they just scrap the old parts do they

Sort of... These parts are not desirable goods in Serbia... Though we have a bad habit of "not throwing away, maybe I'll use it someday"

 

[CLXCraig]

You raise what is called a "pro forma" invoice. I'll type one up for you because i know what needs to be on it. You simply tell us how much and we'll pay on paypal.

Do you know how much the van parts will weigh packed? i estimate 50kg MAX.

 

[gibanitza]

Ok, we'll get that pro forma invoice sorted...

Paypall, never had any experience but I don't see problems with it...

How much it weighs? Don't have a slightest clue... I'll ask around...

 

[CLXCraig]

I think the best thing to do, would be for you to take the one off Guido, pack it and then weigh it and take dimensions. Then we will work from that. Once you know estimated weights you can then get a price from haulage company.

 

[Oingo]

Just for the record you can definatly count me in for one of the van kits ( any chance of a bulkhead also )
As for payment, Paypal sounds good just remember to include paypals fees and any costs in the final figure.
If this all comes off, I think I'll owe you a serious drink aswell:worship:
