Temporary insurance driving uk reg motorhome from France

[squiz]

Hi all,

Bit niche...but does anyone have any experience or advice buying and transporting a uk registered 6m motorhome from France to uk ?

It is uk registered on uk plates but LHD, owner wanted to import it from uk to France so had the French control technique done as part of export/ import process. It is wildly expensive to import it to France so plan is get it back to uk to sell. 

Uk mot has elapsed while going through process, but has valid French CT

Any suggestions ? Transportation quotes work out prohibitively expensive, to transport all the way via ferry, so thinking temporary French insurance to get it to ferry terminal, drive onto ferry then transport it from ferry terminal once on uk soil.

Any suggestions how to go about it ?

Thanks in advance !!

Thanks will look at that, good tip about the green card...one of the stipulations is for valid uk mot on most of those short term policies, which it won't have until we drive it to mot station in uk on landing from ferry ?

Drive it dodgy and take a chance? What are the odds of getting caught and/or other untoward ocurrence?

Hmmm yes good point Igor...we thinking now to get it recovered to ferry port French side and go over as a foot passenger then drive it on/off ferry straight to pre booked mot near the port maybe a good option !

That seems like a good plan.
