You can't legally import it, AFAIK, because it's LHD.

payam · 26th March 2007, 20:09

viper what do you mean by LHD dude?can you explain me this rule?

kutlee · 26th March 2007, 20:10

i think it means Left Hand Drive???

v1p3r · 26th March 2007, 20:11

LHD is left-hand drive. LHD imports are not allowed post-1999 or some such date. Older LHDs continue to exist in India, but you cannot legally import one now.

Though I hear rumours on and off that if you get them in under TR, it is allowed. Maybe someone can clarify this. TR= transfer of residence.

Dont think it is allowed even under TR.

Do a search here, we have discussed it before. One such thread: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...ng-car-uk.html

can't he get it converted to RHD and import it?

rahul_intlad · 26th March 2007, 22:29

Unfortunately you cannot import Left hand drives into the country now.

The Wolf · 26th March 2007, 22:33

Getting the car down isnt impossible, just break the car down into several pieces and reassemble it once it arrives but registering the car which is a LHD is difficult unless you get it registered at some Bihar/Haryana RTO(anything is possible there) and get yourself a national number plate and registration papers(dont exactly know how that works thou)!!!

nitrous · 26th March 2007, 22:34

Yeah. Just get it converted to RHD and import it.
If thru TR, the vehicle should be owned by U for atleast 6 months.
