Re: Import problem?

Nuovo - 91 Anniversary model. A 50's one is a bit beyond my means :)
HMRC have given me the go ahead to register - now I'm struggling to get my head around all the info on Gov.uk. I'll be calling them with a long list of questions!

Re: Import problem?

Hi Alan - this is my second Saturno. First was a lovely all-red one - immaculate condition and really low mileage. I part exchanged it for a Guzzi and missed it as soon as it went. Shouldv'e kept it and just paid outright for the Guzzi :cry: If you're used to old Brit bikes then the Saturno will pro...

Re: Import problem?

Following Paul's advice I wrote an accompanying letter explaining the situation. Reply from HMRC arrived today and everything's fine. No VAT due and I can now register the bike with DVLA. Vehicle Import Pack now applied for - hopefully straightforward from now on. Restoration work continues... Thank...

Re: Import problem?

Hi Stevie - it was a private sale so all I have is the German registration document and a receipt. Looks like it might be fun? I called HMRC and they're emailing me the Nova form...

Import problem?

Hi - Not sure if I have a problem here, but hopefully someone with more experience than me can offer some advice. Two years ago I bought a basket case Gilera Saturno Anniversary Edition from Germany. Private sale. I had the bike delivered by courier and stored it in my shed while I worked out what n...

Re: fork issue. help

Just did mine at the weekend - half a day and all done. No special tools. Forks off the bike. Drain old oil. Bottom bolt out - slider off. Circlip pulls out. Two seals each fork - pop out easy enough. Inspect & clean internals as best you can. Tap new seals in - lip down for both. Circlip back i...

I ordered two lower cables from Venhill, only to find the nipples at one end were incorrect.

Re: Newish member with a 3 1/2 Sport

Must try and get hold of the magazine - not much written about the Saturno. Presumably because not many around. Great bike though! I have tarozzi adjustable bars on the Morini in deference to my advancing years so relatively comfortable position. I also put a Ducati left hand switch gear on for easi...

Re: Newish member with a 3 1/2 Sport

Richard - we must have been separated at birth. D/D 350 Sport and a Saturno - motorcycle doppelgangers! Your thoughts of when you were a teenager echoed mine back then - I was at sea and saved my pennies one trip to buy a new 350 Sport as I just loved them. I used to hang out with Trident, Z650 and ...
