Shipping Car to the UK

[Linas.P]

I would be more than happy to exchange my UK rear lights with fogs to your non-UK IS-F lights :D

Though I assume you probably will need additional wiring and switch as well ... 

It is great looking car, though I still think it would be easier to sell and buy one here. I agree that 2013 cars would probably work out the same here, but as far as I am aware majority of important updates happened on 2010, 2012 were more cosmetic changes. And there are plenty of 2010 cars with lower mileage and for significantly less money + no issues with fog lights, with mot, shipping, taxes and so on. Arguably more comfortable with steering wheel in right place and probably slightly less expensive to insure. If you would be importing it to Continental EU then I would say 100% good deal as cars are more expensive there, but when thinking about UK I just don't believe it is worth it... just my opinion.

Understand what you're saying, but yes the plan if ever I'm going to sell the car would be to the continent, so I hope there's a bigger market there for Left Hand Drives. 

Honestly driving around in a Left hand drive car in London isn't that bad, there are quiet a few lhd cars there driving around.

No I didn't say it is bad, I often drive RHD on the continent and honestly don't feel much of the difference. The only issue is sometimes to overtake on rural roads.... yet that is still fact it is more convenient to have car with steering wheel on the correct side. 

I completely understand and I am not trying to make you change you mind... it just sounds like you going to have quite a few things to do and quite a bit money to spend before you can actually enjoy driving it around. Whenever it is worth it or not... it is only up to you.

Yeah agree country roads will be more challenging lol. 

Hopefully the final cost won't come out to be that much, I'll start getting quotes and see how things look.
