[Healeys] Shipping Healey to Europe

[Oudesluys]

To avoid paying custom fees etc. one should enquire and apply for 
permission for a temporary import beforehand to the customs in the 
country of arrival. Also make sure the car is technically in order to 
meat technical EU standards, e.g. MOT/TüV/APK or whatever it is called 
in the various countries.
One should also mention that you will be crossing borders within Europe 
so will only have to apply once and not every time you cross a border. 
Check with your insurer if you are sufficiently covered. Most countries 
will have application forms in English but of course it might be easier 
to ship to the UK and travel from there, easy enough with plenty of 
ferries across the channel plus a car train under it.
