Advice on importing

[kash]

I'm thinking of importing a Toyota Supra and am looking for some advice. I have a couple of companies in mind that I might use.

Has anyone imported a car from a company called Futurautos or brought one from JIC limited (Japanese car imports)? If so could you tell me what their service is like? More precisely did you have any problems with them?

Can someone also pass me some information on reputable import companies and/or what I should be looking for e.g. BIMTA approval?

Thanks

Hi dude

Drop Gareth a line on CarsPCLtd@aol.com

He is a nice guy and trusted friend of the GT4 owner's club and has imported cars for several members. He may well be able to help you out... :)

I recommed New Era Imports.. quite big in the market. You supply them the information on exactly what your looking for and they will find you the right car.

I used Sporting Cars ltd in Ditchling West Sussex, and would recommend them to any one.

Have u looked on the Bimta website?? They have a list of importers that are registered with them, I used Jap-link, very good people, they will get the car for a very low price, they garenteed that if i didn't like the car I wouldn't have to pay! They are registered to Bimta :D
