Hi fellow international piston fans . not used this forum for years but used to be regular user .
So I am currently in pattaya and was in bangkok for a couple weeks .now looking at fb maketplace there are some right classic stunning bargains to be had .So my question is anyone done it to the uk what was the pitfalls taxes ,duties ,costs and lead times .
there a few lads in the uk that I know fancy a mini group buy like maybe four cars at once .how many can you get in a container and so on .
Any advice is very welcome .

Thank you for the detailed reply, as for pricing have been watching the Thailand market for a while and still seems within reason to import a good few classic cars, corolla's older Nissans which seemed to have fared well in the hot climate .And the margin still seems there for profit after shipping and taxes. good luck with your ecu in my top ten car garage, you are a very lucky fella
