Importing car from the UK

[antipodes40]

I'm after a petrol, manual estate ( e.g. Skoda vRS). Such vehicles are very rare here, but seem to be relatively common in the U.K. Can anyone recommend a firm that undertakes this, or, how big a hassle is it to tackle yourself?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that. Very useful.

Thanks. Will take a look at them.

Car arrived very successfully. Ended up using European Car Imports (https://www.europeancarimports.co.nz). They don't charge much relatively speaking and the whole affair was completely stress free, including inspection in the UK, shipping and insurance, and, once here, compliance, registration and warrant. Car was certainly cheaper than buying one here (if I had been able to find one in the spec I was after), especially if you can get one that is VAT qualifying (i.e. you save 20% on the UK list price). I calculated that, all up, it cost me $5-8K less than buying locally for a car with exactly what I wanted.

Seems they do quite a few, including some quite exotic stuff, and appear to have no issues with local compliance unless it is something very unusual.
