postscript
All set to do the customs route, but from Mumbai not Delhi, I went to see customs in Mumbai, they gave me the number of an agent, and he told me not to bother (with warehouse option, even though that is what youre supposed to do) - its not that much of an issue, and it would take 3 days to process the paperwork there apparently. When I pressed him on what if customs stop me etc., he told me to get a letter from a car repair shop saying the car was in repairs and would be exported shortly on my return (and hence couldnt be in the customs warehouse). I took his advice, got the letter (for nothing from a freindly repair shop) and am now out of the country - having not been stopped on way out.... (car in lock up in Mumbai) - I still have to get back in of course, but Ive got my excuse...!
