    I presume as there is no motor tax there is no issue waltzing over to the UK and buying an Airstream from a tax or VRT perspective?

    Or am I missing a tax trick that the government have sussed?

    They look cool but why are they so expensive.

    Because they look cool!

    On a serious note I suppose it's because they are classed as a vintage or antique item and are fairly sought after.

    Hi Agent 47, I have a neighbour who was selling one here in Ireland and then wasn't. It is in the original condition, as in not modified rather than in crap order. I do not know the size, but I can find out if you are interested and assuming he is still selling it. I think he falls in and out of love with it, or is that his wife, never sure. Let me know.
