Dad wants a new Subaru Outback and really wants the six cylinder petrol. That car is not available in the EU, but it is available in New Zealand and, I think, Hong Kong. What would be the best way to get a RHD car into the UK?

Buy it. Physically import it. Pay VAT and duty on it. IVA it. Register it. Drive it.

Is the buying and physically importing easy? Is it better to import from one country rather than another? Do car import companies offer good value for money?
