Importing a car from the US to the UK

Does anybody have an previous experience in importing a car into the UK?

 

I have been after a Porsche 356 for several moons, and the UK market is not the best, rare as rocking horse turd, and prices are inflated.

 

I am mainly after a project 356, can get complete rust buckets here in the UK for roughly 15k with matching engine and chassis numbers, It takes approx a further 40-50K to restore to a complete gem.

 

 

HOWEVER, Looking at the US market, they are more common over there and prices are still relatively low,

for the 15k in the US I can buy a matching numbers part resorted car with full referbed engine (the same in the US would cost around 25k+)

 

Only issue is obviously the LHD and different needs to make it UK registered with lights etc etc..

 

 

Does anyone have experience importing from a different country, any car at all. Is it a major ball ache with acres of trees to fill out?

 

regards
