hi there
Hello,
I believe I can help you there. I am in India, have bought an Enfield and did intend to ride it back to Ireland.
The AA in Ireland no longer issue the Carnet de Passage unless the bike is registered in Ireland. They told me to try the RAC..
The RAC in the UK sent me this which I'm sure you have seen already..
In June 2002 we were advised by the AIT in Geneva who administer the carnet scheme worldwide, that according to Indian legislation, only those
persons resident in India with proof of residence are eligible to purchase & register vehicles in their name. Individuals who have purchased/registered
motorcycles in the past have done so illegally & may be held liable under Indian law.
Issuing clubs were advised that under no circumstances can a carnet be issued outside India for a vehicle purchased in India bearing Indian registration plates.
However; the RAC have personally told me that if I had a bike which was registered in Nepal they would have issued me a Carnet de Passage for the trip.
As it is I am trying to see if I can a: get the bike shipped to Istanbul and ride it back from there or b: get it re-registered in Nepal.
If I find out any more I'll let you know. Good luck.
