Hi
I'm thinking of getting a Westfalia T25 van next year. I'm interested in this model, both as a campervan and a project. The ones I like are generally late 1980s built. I previously owned a T25, non-Westfalia, and a Hymer C46
I was comparing availability and price and it seem sensible to consider importing from UK or Germany.
If, say, I imported a 1988 van and paid, say, 12-15,000€, what would be implications regarding
1. Import tax, if any
2. Registering here in Ireland. I believe VRT is high but uncertain if this van would be classified as a classic
3. Insurance. How would I insure van if I purchased in Germany and drove back to Ireland via France ferry
4. Is there classic road tax and would 30yrs+ count as classic
5. Ditto classic insurance
Thanks for reading this.
