Learn MoreOUR PRIDE AND JOY IS OUR HIGH-QUALITY EXPORT STOCK
At Beck Evans, our pride and joy isn't just our export service - it's the exceptional stock we offer to customers around the world. We specialise in VAT-qualifying, top-of-the-range vehicles, including prestige marques, luxury 4x4s, high-performance models, and commercial vehicles.
Every vehicle we export meets the highest UK standards and undergoes pre-export inspections. As we own our stock, we can guarantee the quality, condition, and provenance of every car.
How do you guarantee car quality?
We ensure transparency through detailed vehicle descriptions, high-quality images, live video walk-arounds, vehicle history reports, and optional third-party inspections, giving you complete confidence in your purchase.
How Does It Work?
And the Brucey Bonus? We don't just sell the vehicle - we handle the entire export process as well. From purchase and paperwork to shipping, customs clearance, and even VAT reclaim, we make sure your car arrives at your chosen port ready to drive and hassle-free.
Choose your vehicle: Select your ideal vehicle from our extensive stock of premium cars. Whether it's a high-performance sports car, a luxurious SUV, or a practical family vehicle, we have something for everyone.
Live video walkaround: We provide a personalised live video tour of your chosen vehicle, ensuring complete transparency. You see exactly what you're getting, with every detail explained clearly by our expert team.
Export consultation & plan: Our dedicated export specialists will create a bespoke export plan tailored specifically to your needs. We'll discuss everything from timelines to delivery logistics, leaving no stone unturned.
Quotation & safe payment: You'll receive a clear, detailed quotation covering the total export costs. Our secure payment process guarantees peace of mind, ensuring every transaction is safe and straightforward.

Delivery & registration: Your vehicle arrives at your chosen port, ready for collection. You'll arrange onward delivery and registration, supported by guidance from your customs clearance specialist.
What methods of shipping do you use?
We offer two reliable options: RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off), which is ideal for standard vehicles due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of use, and Container Shipping, which is perfect for high-value or modified vehicles that require extra protection. We'll provide clear quotes for both, allowing you to choose the best fit for your needs.
What transportation do you offer?
We offer secure and reliable transportation to ensure your vehicle arrives at the UK port on time and in top condition. Collection is handled by trusted carriers and is fully insured throughout the journey, giving you total peace of mind.
What other costs do I need to consider?
Beyond the car and shipping, you may need to account for import duties, local taxes, and admin fees - these vary by country. Our export specialists can give you a tailored quote based on your destination.
How long does the car export process take?
On average, the export process takes around 5-8 weeks from purchase to arrival. Timelines can vary based on paperwork, shipping, and customs, so our export team will provide a more accurate estimate tailored to your situation.
What documents and information are required?
To get started, we'll need your full name, address, and contact number.
After purchase, we'll send you key documents by mail, including service history, HPI check, manufacturer book pack, Bill of Lading, V5 Logbook, and any applicable extras like spare keys or locking wheel nuts. Our team will guide you through any additional requirements for a smooth import.

VAT-qualifying vehicles
If you're exporting the vehicle outside the UK, purchasing a VAT-qualifying car may make you eligible to reclaim the 20% VAT, significantly reducing your overall cost. We also support the reclaim process.
A VAT-qualifying vehicle is one that was originally purchased by a VAT-registered business with VAT charged at the point of sale. As long as that VAT hasn't been reclaimed and the vehicle has remained within a VAT-qualifying ownership chain, it retains its VAT-qualifying status.
We own our own stock
At Beck Evans, we go the extra mile to ensure your vehicle meets the highest standards:
- Owning our stock: By owning all the vehicles we sell, we guarantee their quality and condition, eliminate delays caused by third parties, and provide a seamless export process from start to finish.
- Certified quality: All cars come with a full service history, are certified to British standards, and include a Ministry of Transport (MOT) Certificate.
- Comprehensive vehicle checks: Every car undergoes an HPI check to confirm it's not stolen, accident-damaged, or flood-affected, giving you complete peace of mind.
- Thorough inspections: Before shipment, vehicles are fully inspected by qualified engineers and mechanics to ensure reliability and safety.
- Professional cleaning: We deliver vehicles that are not only mechanically sound but also spotless and ready to impress.
