can someone tell me why there is a car in wigan with western australia registration plates, they are blue characters on a white background and it was a saab tc i think. How or why would anyone bring it over here?

[tiggerblue10]

Maybe someone brought it over knowing they would get settlement after 4 years on a UK ancestry visa.

[dot.hawkes]

Possibly, but surely it is very expensive to get a car from there to here, are saab cars any good?

[I-am-Jayne]

Aw, sorry dot ...

But you didn't mention that it was in Wigan !!

(isn't that somewhere near Scotland?)

[tiggerblue10]

Must be someone with a lot of dough. Mind you buying a Saab in Oz and transporting it here may work out much more cheaper than buying one here.

[dot.hawkes]

i am just really curious about this car, is it an expensive one for them to want to bring it here? It would have come by boat I guess.

lol @ steve and knobby.......yes its that rough up there even the rats wear steel toecaps and overalls......lol

Never exported a car to australia dot but I have brought cars to and from America and you can get them shipped relatively cheaply, so I imagine it's one that the person particularly liked and wanted to keep. Nice cars Saabs:)
