Anyone imported one?

[MJO]

Am very interested in a mk1 MX-5 for Sundays and track days, ideally would like to import one from Japan to get the best value. Has anyone done this? Have looked around at various companys that take care of importing one on your behalf but I'm not convinced of their integrity. They usually take the stance of 'tell us your budget and we'll buy one for you' meaning you don't actually know what they bid for it.

Any help much appreciated,

Max.

Would ideally like a S-special for the lsd, don't mind too much if it's not mint as I would be tempted to strip it down as much as possible. I presume the Specials command a higher price, so wondered if it would make sense to start with a more standard model if it's going to be a much cheaper starting point. Was planning to go and watch the MX-5 racing at Cadwell tomorrow but realised it's the girlfriend's birthday, bummer.
