So COVID times have resulted in seriously considering a move to Canada (partner is Canadian) with a secured job there.
Having owned the 206 since new makes it hard to part ways and hence I am looking into taking it along.
Has anyone done anything like this?
One path I am contemplating is getting a carnet with RACV, hence be able to enter and use the car in Canada on VIC plates. Part of the reason for doing so is that there is a chance of a further subsequent move to Europe in a year's time, but I will still be able to register it if we decide to settle in Canada.
On a related note, I heard that flipping RHD to LHD is a fairly straightforward job with the 206 and would entail sourcing a dashboard/airbag/brake-clutch pedals then opening a hole for the steering column (not sure if a new steering rack will be needed). The wiper mechanism and covering plate need to be exchanged. Not sure if the headlights need replacing too. But that's a job I would only do if I am certain will be staying in Canada for more than a couple of years.
Thanks
