There is also the issue of getting the car cleaned because it's been used on UK roads. You need to have it hot steam cleaned underneath incase it is carrying parasites or viruses like foot & mouth etc. Once you get there it will be inspected for an import tax certificate and then it needs a form of MOT. All in all it's a lot of hassle but persevere and you will eventually get there. Not many MK1's out there, but a few, mostly strange Jap imports. Good luck
