Default Imports: Recommendations

Does anyone have any experience of good import companies in the UK, or even better, can you recommend any good dealers out in Europe (and your contacts within them), who are willing to supply UK spec cars. My Dad is looking to import a Civic Type-R in October - any suggestions ?


Cheers,

Matt.

Forget the import companies, they just add risk and fees. Do it yourself. Check out the newsgroup uk.rec.car.imports and you'll find lots of good advice and lists of EU dealers willing to order you RHD cars.

You can view the newsgroup at Newsgate

If you use a broker and you get a problem, are they gonna give a flying?

If you use a Honda dealer, you have redress as they have their franchise to protect.

Brussels is easy to get to on the Eurostar, a lovely city to visit. Mr. Chikhi, who owns an S2K, has sold us a Civic VTi and S2K so far.
