If you move it to the G register then it needs to be inspected and anything non standard has been fitted then you will need to remove it or apply for permission. This can be a time consuming and costly process
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, it is a huge can of worms.

The older Q that is already in the UK and on the register is becoming more and more appealing all the time!

Thank you all for your valuable input, my inexperience in this aspect of aviation is becoming clearer by the minute

Yes... when I first looked at aircraft to buy I also thought of importing from the USA. The list of things that need doing and risks that need managing became longer and longer... in the end I bought a good old G-reg.
Maybe it is worth doing for a special/otherwise unobtainable/rare or very expensive bird, but for ordinary spam cans the expense and the risks are discouraging.
