Can someone explain what paperwork you will require to collect/deliver cars to/from europe?..English registered and also non-registered vehicles.
Do you still need to provide CMR’s ?
Import/Export Documents ?
V5s or anything ■■?
Ow by the way all vehicles will be collected on a transporter and not driven back.
Any info much appreciated

Will you be working for yourself, or will you be working for an importer ?
Working for a company but not too sure if where been told the truth if that makes any sense
The cars will have been declared as being exported to DVLA (I’m sure there is a section on the V5 for that). All you would need is a cmr. The vehicles then would need registering in the destination country if being used on the road.
I think you may be talking about repats and test cars, then there is no need for CMR as you are simply providing a recovery service.
Unregistered cars do not have a V5
Bucks and prototypes have a history file that stays with the car.
I worked for Ontime Automotive and the only paper work we used were the vehicle check sheets, unless it was Switzerland

Does that include delivering 2nd hand or scrap cars to customers?

Thanks for that Wheel Nut thats what I needed to hear. Was n’t sure if you need a CMR to transit europe because they would be counted as goods in transit but if the check list will do thats ok. What would happen in Swiss■■?
I occasionally load scrap cars for Belgium. (a porsche boxster s and a 911 gt2 two weeks ago) usually its just a cmr. Occasionally the customer will ask for another official form with waste movement order details on.
I used to do this job about 8 years ago, If it’s expat cars being moved out ie for someone thats moving to another country, you need the original V5, a letter from the owner stating that you have permission to move the vehicle from A to B and it must be moved on a CMR. Also if they have filled the car with personal effects you MUST have an inventory of EVERYTHING that is in the car. Scrap cars are just cargo and a CMR made out.
Importing Cars, new vehicles should be on a CMR as well as a seperate checksheet for each vehicle identifying any damage and you should get paperwork from where you pick them up from as well. Second hand cars are the same as exporting, registration doc, letter and inventory. Scrap cars are done as cargo and just a CMR done for them.
One thing I will say though is make sure that you do a checksheet (and get it signed at the collection point) for EVERYTHING that you move, the amount of times that I have had people try and claim that “that scratch wasn’t there when you picked it up, that wing will need to be resprayed” is unbelievable and if you have a checksheet it proves the condition of the car on collection.
Oh and don’t let the Germans hiab a car onto the back of your truck if it’s a non-runner, they make a helluva mess when the strops slip and they are 15 ft in the air

Spot on Scottie0011 so you would suggest that for own peace of mind it would be best to write a CMR out anyway on both registered and non-registered? Non of the cars will be scrap condition so the Germans will not be getting their hands on them well at least loading or un-loading

Personally I would write out a CMR for everything, as you say for peace of mind, I just used to put make, model and either reg number or chassis number on them and staple the checksheet to the back of it.
