From Italy to London...yeah by Zuk!
From Italy to London...yeah by Zuk!
Hello everybody!
I am living in UK, in London, since 9 months now. I am going to bring my dog here by driving my 1986 SJ413 from south Italy to London next week!
It will be a nice trip, I have been in a lot of places with my Zuk!
Since I'll be living in London for at least some years, I'd like to register my car here as soon as I can. Or maybe is easier to buy a new one? I have lots of mods on my Zuk and I don't have space/tools here to swap all of them onto another car! But we'll see!
Any advice about insurance? The car is right-and driving so is not UK standard, I think this will create some problems.
Anyway a big hello to everybody, hoping I can meet you guys in a muddy offroading day!
Cheers!

Sounds like a good road trip to me! and lets see some pics of your zuki then
have a look here for info with regards to importing a car http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Bu ... /index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
insurance shouldn't be an issue whether it's left or right hand drive to be honest!

to the club.
That is going to be one long drive. I once drove from Bristol in the UK, to Interlaken in Switzerland and that took us around 16 hours each way. That was in a normal car aswell, would of taken twice as long in the SJ . Should be a awesome road trip though .
Get some pics of your SJ up when you get a chance .

Thanks mate.. I'm newtomud, new to off roading and new to forums... This site has given me sooo much info, I visit almost everyday and try to learn something new about SJ's.. I've tried to get involved as much as possible and hopefully return a tiny bit of info by listing pay and play sites.
Can't wait to meet a few of you at these sites when I've done a couple of mods to my SJ.
