Hi All, After more researched we have decided on a 2.4 Toyota Alphard ,i live in the west country and the few cars for sale here seem expensive,so am looking about buying from a dealer in japan,never done this before any body done this?, i am a motor mechanic so getting ready for mot no worries but not sure about paperwork,any help please graham.

It's all fairly simple. Import using an agent. There is one in Hallen, Avonmouth, Bristol. 

You will need the speedo converted, a rear fog light and that's about it besides registering it with the dvla. 

 

All the forms are easy ish to complete. It's the tax rating you might have to fight and getting it EU approved for emissions to get a lower tax bracket.
