We've run a few stories on the new GT-R recently, each time with a hint of sadness that we have to wait so long for one arrive in the UK, March 2009 to be precise.
One man who didn't want to wait was Ben Linney, he ordered his car as soon as details were announced, not a bad idea as his car was guaranteed an early build slot and his car was ready for collection on the 6th December.
Bad weather delayed shipping meaning an anxious wait, but the car finally arrived in the UK last week.
We all know that the Japanese can buy an R35 for a shade under £40,000 so how much did it cost Ben to import his own? £50,000 is the answer, and that was including transport costs, model report and UK registration.
Looking at the pictures, we reckon that's money well spent.
