As per subject. Seen some nice looking 911’s in US around £25k and this has got me thinking.....How hard / how much is it to import one if looking at buying from eBay?

Can I get it for 5% vat / duty if classic (eg over 40 years ?) what else do I need to consider? And can I lose the US big bumper look ?

If anyone has any experience or any sources of info I can read up on that would be ideal. Thanks.

Thanks

Helpfully, you can speak to them until late as their working hours are often based around US time.
Costs increase depending on how much of a service you use but to have a car shipped across Canada by train, shipped in a container, picked up, taken for mot etc and delivery to my door the total cost, including vat, number plates and all paperwork, was less than £5k
