Well, bad news I'm afraid...

It seems that about 18 months ago they moved the goalposts for SVA (Single Vehicle Approval) grey-imports coming into the UK and, as there are hardly any VXs in the UK nobody has had a "model report" done and made it in any way public. This means that to get one in Here I'd be looking at paying about £2700 in testing fees with no guarantee it would pass and having to pay it all again if it didn't. That's on top of Duty (10%), VAT -sales tax- (At 17.5% and applied to the 10% duty too), a standard Ministry of Transport inspection, etc, etc...

What I'm trying to say is that it is in no way viable to import a VX to the UK from Japan. Which is a bugger.

There are only about 50 in the country so I'm now lying low and waiting for a good one to come up. This could take some time...

I;ll let you know how I get on,

Alan
