Why would you want to import a 53 year old vehicle?

Do it my mate has an older Buick roadmaster he imported just got a firm to arrange all the shipping paperwork you will have to alter the headlamp dip if it is a left hooker plus lots of other oddments you maybe better to go through a UK car importer specialising in stateside cars not all Brits like euro clone cars My dream is a SUPER BEE or a Charger R/T, you cannot beat the sound of a huge vee 8 throbbing along yes they drink lots of fuel but so do,s a well thrashed EVO but with a vee you don't need a laptop to repair it !!

Difficult to do by yourself. You need to arrange shipping, get a shipping agent, pay Import Duty at 10% and VAT at 17.5% (on top of the total cost inc shipping!).
You then need to get it SVA'd and an MOT. This will cost you between £500 to £3000. Registration and tax will cost £150. Add on transportation. New radio as well.
Several companies import this kind of vehicle into the UK. Try Auto Trade,www.americanimportcars.com and importmycar.com
