Can recommend a BMW dealer in Heemstede (near Haarlem), Holland. Saved about £5K, very helpful dealership, & Dutch/UK paperwork is a breeze (everything in UK through local VRO - since last summer - Customs couldn't cope with the deluge of personal imports). I've got a breakdown of the paperwork requirements if anyone wants to e-mail me for them. Not sure if post about change of Dutch prices would reduce savings somewhat.

Rigsby:
Hairdresser? No, just young enough to like going fast close to the ground, still in possession of a full head of hair, and living within a few miles of roads that reward superglue-like road holding and brisk acceleration, without top speed really being an issue. Also, no need for more than two seats, just as long as I can fit a pair of skis somewhere once in a while. Although the 200bhp supercharged version does have a certain appeal....

Question

ALTSELGREEN

Thanks for posting the Japanese website. Unfortunately it hasn't answered some of my questions. If you know any more about importing from Japan could you please help.


Do you know what advantage, if any, there is to importing via Ireland?

If so, what procedures do you follow once it has arrived in Ireland.

Hello Tigerfeet...MVI import the vehicles via Holland. You have nothing to do if you choose their UK on the road option. The car arrives in the UK, they pay all the freight and import charges, carry out all necessary conversions(speedo km-mph, fuel filler, radi expander, fog light etc). They then register the car, and you collect it all mot'd and taxed and drive it away.They will deliver if required. They also have a UK website www.mvi-services.co.uk. Have a look. If you have any questions the guy to speak to is Mark Bremner...

Tiger feet,
Believe that the enormous cost of putting a car through the Japanese MOT test after a couple of years means that there is a huge second hand market for these vehicles.
Am sure that someone else will have some up-to-date info>
Best of luck.
PS. Newswatcher, Thanks for correcting me on the Dubai shopping festival dates. On my present Italian salary I don't think I could afford to make an offer on Trotters 3 wheeler so forget the Silver Seraph!
