Help

Hello out there!

I am hoping that someone can help and guess I am appealing to anyone who may have shipped a VW Citi from South Africa to the UK but also to people in the USA and Australia.

I have recently bought a VW Citi (Mk1) from South Africa. I bought a 2009 VW Citi Mk1 special edition - 1 of last 1000 made. I have had it shipped over to the UK.

We have strange laws in the UK that seem to treat that import as being some sort of commercial import and not a personal import.

As a result I have to show that the car meets various standards - has anyone ever found crash test results for the Mk1 - if so please let me know. Of is anyone has any documentary evidence that the car meets the following standards please email me:

Braking - (USA) FMVSS 135 or FMVSS 105 or (Australia) ADR 31/01
Frontal Impact - (USA) FMVSS 208 or (Australia) ADR 73/00
Side impact - (USA) FMVSS 214 or (Australia) ADR 72/00

Cheers!!!!

you might aswell give up.

there is another thread already going on this..

Thanks!

I saw that the other thread seemed to have died a death.

Certainly looks like I'll have to wait until its 10 years old!

 

this country has too many stupid rules and regs, good luck with it

Thanks for that.

It certainly appears that I will be waiting until the car is 10 years old!

p.s. does anyone have any idea who conducted these tests:

Where in Yorkshire are you?

Hi, I'm in Bradford. Why?

Any progress on registering this?

Absolutely bugger all. Proving to be very difficult. Any suggestions?

Realistically, wait 10 years, send it back to SA, or buy 3 more and destroy them in the crash testing/etc
