Temporary export by a non uk resident - ben231
i own a UK registered car in the UK, use it on a British license and also have my uk international drivers license, which i gt after exchanging my Zimbabwean license, both my parents are of UK citizenship so have a permanent address on which my car is registered, but now my hassle is whether i will be allowed to drive that car to Russia .. as i am a non resident of the UK, but have a permanent address which i frequently visit. and the car is registered on.
according to the BRITISH law:
you can temporarily export a car for 11.5 months and still use the uk number plates and pay the UK road tax and M.O.T.
RUSSIAN:
every foreigner is entitled to usage of their personal vehicle for a maximum period of 11,5 months at a time with no payment of tax or customs duty on the car. but with a 3rd party insurance that amounts to 40 pounds a year..cheap!

so if anyone can advise me on this,i would greatly appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
