discussion Can anyone recommend an importer for a Japanese Car?

As the title suggests....

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I am looking at getting the ball rolling on my F81 M3 wagon soon. I need a recommendation for a car importing company that can import a F31 LCI wagon from Japan.

Originally, I wanted to get a F31 from the UK/EU, but after contacting dealers on Autotrader UK and the EU, it is a pain to get said dealers to even consider exporting said car.

I found Rospa Imports, and have since dropped them an email, but I don't want to keep my eggs in one basket. I want to keep my options open, especially since the F31 is going to get stripped down within an inch of it's life.

Any recommendations for something like this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for viewing!

Rospa are definitely the most reliable and trustworthy, but highly doubt you will get an ITAC permit for an F31.

Is an ITAC permit only for citizens that have left and returned to the country?

I might be reading in between the lines here.
Are you wanting to create an F81 M3 out of an F31 body?

 

[GipsyD]

Correct, I am intending on converting a F31 into an F81, like the one found here

Worst case, I'll make a E91 M3 wagon if I can't get my hands on a F31.
