Hi Eckhard,
Welcome to the forum. I'm an Aussie just moved back home after 8 years in Switzerland.
Interesting that you bought a car to take back to Oz when the time comes, I did the same with my XJR.
Good job you bought a RHD in the UK, I bought the XJR in London, even though I was living on the continent, for this very reason.
If you have the time, a write up on the import process UK to DE in our Europe section would be great. I was meaning to do one too about the UK to CH process...
Cheers!
