Can you afford the insurance then? Its not a flippant question, simply that it will cost a substantial proportion of a cheap S2000.

with Chris - I saved a fortune and have a fabulous car.

Bonsai are a very reputable company from what I hear but you may want to check for testimonials on Skyline or Supra sites.

Riverdale are another good one I'm told....http://www.jford4.freeserve.co.uk/stock.html

I have no direct experience though

I imported my s through bonsai Cars. My first one sunk, My 2nd took ages to arrive. On aririval, bonsai fitted the wrong Tyres . Other than that not a bad bunch of people. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the company. I spoke to them weekly for 9 months.

Oh, hope your not in any rush to get one. If you ordered yours today I would expect you to have it for the end of October!
