VX : CLOSEST THING TO A CONCEPT CAR!
Super VXer
I have friend who's a Japanese Performance Car specialist and he's going to do the importing and registering for me. That gives me some sort of comeback should it go pearshaped whilst costing about the same as the one I looked at at the weekend.
He has a "man in Japan" who test drives and physically views each car too so he only imports mint examples
I'm getting all excited just thinking about it! :lol:

Wow...I'd be excited too. Good for you!
Nothing like getting a VX direct from the source...
Be sure to post some photos in your gallery when you get it, okay? I'd love to be able to see all of the differences between the JDM version and the ones we get here in the Colonies.
Best of luck!

Dutchie, those look great and the prices make sense to me too - jsuat about what my research had picked up.
The orange is actually quite smart...
I just keep flicking through the galleries and grinning.
Cheers again for all of your replies,
Alan

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

That's bad news, Alan.
Do what I did: Get a 350Z FIRST, and then pick up a VX when one becomes available!
That's the perfect 2-car arrangement...

Best of luck finding the one you want. Hope it occurs sooner rather than later. All I can say is they're worth the wait.
