Carnet in India, for a foreigner with an enfield
 

hello,

any Americans ever buy a bike in india and traveled to europe from india?

If you're American can you purchase a carnet de passage from the Netherlands like the author of "Buying an Enfield and Driving it Home" wrote?

thank you!

Yep, it's been done before. By Wim Langebeen from Belgium who has written it up for our Trip Planning section, see below:

And from our links page, Dave and Helen from India to the UK:
http://website.lineone.net/~daveandhelen/

Lots of contact info on both these pages.

Good luck!

Update:

The AA in UK will issue a carnet for non-UK residents and non-UK vehicles, which is probably the most 'casual' of the auto associations that we're aware of!

You can reach them at +44-1256-493753 or by e-mail: internas@theaa.com. They can fax the application forms to you, but will require originals to be mailed back to them before issuing the carnet, so allow time for that.
