Best way to buy a car in Europe?

[notax]

I'm looking at buying a LHD car and rather than buying in the UK wondered about buying direct from Europe. I tried searching Ebay but whilst I can find lots on non car items I can't find the cars... Does anyone have advice on Ebay or other sites? Would prefer to buy privately, anything from an MX5 to a BMW Z1 or Z3M considered. Thanks

Thanks, can anyone explain the paperwork if I bought a car in France or Germany? Ideally buying privately so can't rely on a dealer for help!
