I have an opportunity... J-GL

Hi all! Just joined the forum to find out if I might find some real advice from specialists / "Liebhaber"s

A family friend of mine is selling a Mk1 J-GL in Croatia and I wanted to see if you had any experience exporting from the region / re-importing in the UK?

Furthermore, any thoughts if it makes sense to go ahead for a J-GL as a fun run-about around London / South East UK? I have a proper main car and this would be an additional 2nd one.

Happy to post pictures if you can help (or even if you are trying to source a J-GL!) 

are you talking about a mk1 jetta gl? they are rare so if you could get it to the uk cheap enough then why not; I'd go for it!
