Yes as Thomas has said the clearance does take 2 - 3 days.... mine
took two but then i left it a couple of days to let the 'rush' of
the arrival die down. Imported mine this June.
If you do go and collect it yourself....my advice is to make sure
you take a tool box with you and jump leads, duct tape and rope /
cable ties etc. i would greatly advise you not to drive it home
without checking it over first.
And as i was advised (thankfuly) make sure you tie down the rear
louvre to stop it flying up and off!
If you want to chat about the experience of importing please contact
me off list i'll gladly give you a few more pointers.
Kind Regards
Mike
