Importing a car from SA

[Aprilia99]

Anyone have any experience importing a car from SA (joburg), its not high value, but I haven't seen it in person (just pics), not sure where to start.

point of concern:
having a 3rd party pick it up and import it for me
being scammed
paying in safe fashion
import duties

Thanks

If it's not high value, I'm guessing it's nothing special. Why would you bother with the shipping costs, import duties and general risk of dealing with this sort of transaction?

when I say not high value, its 10-15k GBP and there are not many in the UK which are RHD, just to add, it's over 30 years old too.

I am sure there is a chap on here who did this with a old lambo, anyone remember his name?
