Thanks chaps. Turns out a close friend recently used Bob Collier to import a 512TR he bought from Europe. I'm looking at a LHD Ferrari Challenge Stradale, no mods, so should be OK i hope.

I'd be careful on the value of the car, these guys are not muppets, especially bringing in something they know and recognise

I tried this with a race car a couple of years ago, it took about 3 weeks to get it out of the port
Agreed. i'll tell them what i paid for it. Anyway, don't they look at what you have it insured for ?

Anyhow, deposit paid, Bob contacted, just a month or so to wait now.

Let's just say the car is yet to move an inch closer to me.
