The car is a UK car. As a serving member of the armed forces posted in Germany I can buy cars tax free. I also get a 12% discount from Fords for being in the forces. That's a 27% saving on brand new Fords.

I would collect the car in th UK the same as buying a new car from a dealership. I go to the dealership and collect the car.

I have to then drive back to Germany and register it under the German version of the MOT that the forces are required to do for a period of 2 weeks. I can then de register it and have a British MOT on it.

The rule is that I can't sell the car for one year and one day. If I sell it before I will have to pay the tax and get a ban from buying any further tax free cars for a few years.

I hope that explains
