When I had my car in the UK, what an effort, but great fun ...

I can well imagine! How much of the journey was driven and how much sea or air freight may I ask. Malcolm?
Must have been at least some of the way, since it's difficult to land a 747 in Abingdon, and I don't see the rudder and paddles option on the MG!

The car was shipped in a container David, costing about three thousand pounds each way. We did about 7000 miles over eight weeks. Did we save money over trains and hire cars? I never worked it out as there was never a question about attending MG events in a hire car! :-)

The insurance company may not ask to see the licence but will insist on seeing it if there is a claim.

My point exactly scooter...ref the comment that the insured supplying the effectively false information at that stage would be liable and no effective insurance....

Thanks guys you've confirmed my advice that he would be ineligible to drive under the ban/revolution or whatever the Aussies call it. ..

Cheers. .
