Just arrived from NZ

[Lizzie]

By way of introduction our names are Lisa and Martin Bennett. We purchased our new red and white GC 600 in New Zealand back in April 2021. We were upgrading from a 1972 Kombi (also red and white) which we have now sold. We recently returned from NZ to the UK and decided to import our beloved LI22IE (NZ personalised plate) into the UK. The economy had slumped and campervan prices were low, shipping was relatively cheap, so we thought we were being clever, but, it’s all turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. Damaged when driven off the ship, lengthy process of insurance repair, and then complicated registering it here. Now almost a year since arrival and yet to drive (legally) on the road. Hopefully soon we will have a UK number plate!!



We are currently storing the van nr Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire, and are yet to spot another GC.
