Heh thanx for the info, I'll remember that.

As for prices, it is somewhat cheaper to import to UK (using the Kent Car rates), but it still needs to be registered and cleared here, which isn't cheap. And then I'd have to take the trip to England for every service.. <_<

 

Because of the better octane you can tune your car to take atvantage of it and get a nice increase in HP, but you won't lose anything if you don't tune it. as for the side turn indicators, we typically use these little indicators that just attach to the edge of the door with no drilling. my main concern is how they plan to do the rear fog light when they do the UK light conversion. the should just use one of the existing lights for it, but i will be sure to dicusse this with them before they do the conversion. i used the upper rear taillight as the rear fog light on my 92 firebird and that might work well for this car as too.

well jgs i hear that it's nice up there and that the girls really like americans so i might have to take you up on that offer at some point.

 

zinn,
Hi, i'd like to take you up on the offer to have a look at your new stang when you get it, i'm in London so Cambridge is not too far, give me an excuse to give my Mustang a nice run, not that i need an excuse !
keep in touch,
Regards,
Angus.

 

I may take a drive through london while i break it in. london is only a short drive away but i have only been there once so far.

 

But remember you have to pay a very expensive toll now if you want to go to the inner city... I believe it's around 5-10 pounds or something

 

Brian, Hi,
I'll look forward to meeting up with you, either here in London or in Cambridge, i'm on the west side of town, close to Heathrow,
I would'nt advise driving through the centre of town though, i've been driving L.H.D. cars for years and i'm still not brave enough to drive in central London !
Regards.

 

Looking at their prices, they add quite a bit on, I reckon I can import myself to the UK for around $14,000.00 ish cheaper.

After all, they are a business!

Ofcourse they add a bit. Question is what you're willing to save on having to do all the paperwork and inspections yourself, and NOT having warranties, service deal and (eventual) financing through a "local" dealer.

Based on quick pen-and-paper math, the dealers here take about $5-6,000 extra compared to private import and that's worth it for getting rid of all paperwork.

 

Grant,

If you can manage that, you are a miricle worker!

Good Luck!
