Iran for big cars > 2500 cc

[Lysistrata]

Hi, we're a Swiss-German Couple with twins of both nationalities. Our car is a Mercedes Benz 911 truck as you can see on our avatar.

As I mentioned, we didn't have the smallest problem at Kapiköy border. But as we heard from the FB Asia Overland Forum cars with an engine >2500 (3000?) are also have been rejected there last week...what a pitty!

We took that border the other way in 2012, when it had just opened. I guess it improved, but not much. It was very busy at the time.
Had to pay export tax for the diesel I was bringing out of Iran! (no, it was not import tax in Turkey)

They ask for whisky because you are not allowed to bring alcohol into the country. Never answer that you have any alcohol, even if it sounds friendly or is said as a joke.

Can someone confirm that the situation did not change since may 2019
