Imported cars is this a problem

Hi guys going to see a spider this weekend and noticed on the ad it was imported,I know technically they are all imported from Italy but wondered if they normally come over as a job lot to the dealers, and some come over in a different manner and if so would this affect values and insurance as I noticed on the website I was on for INS quote it asked if the vehicle was imported.

Havng worked in the trade, including exotica, many imports have dubious service history and specification often varies considerably from UK spec. Clocking and major accident history is a common occurence. LHD is often a resale problem too.

Non EU vehicles aften lack items such as rust protection, especially Japanese imports.

It will depend on where it's been imported from, there are different specs depending on where the original market was.
