IMPORTING A CAR FROM AMERICA

Postby Bongtrees » Wed Mar 26, 2008 11:43 am

Does anyone have any information re importing a car from America.

Is it possible to buy a brand new one or better go for second hand?

I am looking to import a Toyota FJ

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I think it is nigh on impossible to change the plates on a non EU spec car. I am sure someone else will confirm or deny this.

it is possible to matriculate a non eu car but its alot more difficult than a eu vehicle. Thats why most of the hummers and the like are uk registered.
You need a COC to register a car, you dont get this with a car that was going outside the eu even if it is a land rover built in britain.
