Now that cameras are cheaper, maybe fit one on RH mirror pointing forward.

Hi Gerard 

 

Yes, we did in 2013.

Do they have specific questions?

Ship should be done by a Vessel that makes the trip from Europe to South Africa without stop in Western Africa.

A Carnet the Passage is the best option to avoid costs for customs.

LHD cars cannot be registered in this counties.

From SA to Belgium we shipped with  www.seabridge-tours.de

Hello Gerard,

There are many Europeans that ship their LHD vehicles to SA for Overlanding.
