Getting back into Z ownership.


Recommended Posts

I am looking into getting back into Z ownership again.
 
It's been over 20 years since I had a Z, a 1979 280zx.
 
I'm looking forward to reading through the forum to gain lots of knowledge about the 350z.
 
Does anyone have any experience with importing one into Europe?
 
I live in France and cars here are crazy prices, I am not worried about being rhd, I already have one lhd car and 1 rhd car so I'm used to both.
 
I'm trying to get an idea of the import duties and tax brackets for the different models, do the UK cars come with certificate of conformity?
 
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
 
Here's a photo of my old 280zx

Thanks for the welcome Andy

 

That Le Mans blue is a great colour, you should get a photo at the circuit entrance one day, I live not to far away from there.

Im assuming France has a standard customs duty similar to UK at 10%. You can import one from a neighbouring country such as Germany or Netherlands which has a high amount of Z.  If you know anyone in those countries they can buy it for you and send it as a gift. Check up on the rules regarding customs duty. 

 

Get it registered and local IVA and inspection might cost a bit over there. Good luck!
