Why does the weak dollar mean I
get a better deal?
The current exchange rate means
we are able to buy cars at a much lower price - it also reduces our shipping
and customs costs which relates to a cheaper on the road price for your new
vehicle. We also use foreign exchange brokers who advise us on when to buy
currency to keep our costs to you as low as possible.

years old will require
some minor modifications in order to pass the Department for
Transport ‘Single Vehicle Approval’ (SVA) inspection. When your new vehicle
is delivered to you, we will have carried out all necessary SVA test
inspections and modifications for you.
All SVA and upgrade work
carried out by experienced and specialist engineers in purpose built
workshops
What about Alarms?
We recommend fitting a Thatcham
Cat 1 Alarm and Immobiliser to any American vehicle entering the UK - these
are recognised by UK insurers and will significantly reduce your premiums -
we can fit any make/model of alarm, immobiliser and Tracker systems

 |
| Small LED shows
status of immobiliser |
Control keypad

Parking sensors?
We can fit front & rear parking
sensors to make parking your new car that much easier
 |
 |
| Parking sensors
colour coded as indicated |
Rear display to
gauge distance from object |
Will
the modifications for the SVA test affect the appearence of my new vehicle?
We ensure that all modifications are carefully designed to minimalise any
differences to the
standard vehicle. For example the reversing light in the current light
cluster will become the
indicators, and a reversing lamp and fog lamp will be fitted flush to the
rear bumper on either
side of the number plate.
We are now able to fit UK style
rear clusters - these do not affect the appearance of your new car at all!
For example, here are the
differences highlighted on a Ford F150 and Mustang GT we imported:



Reverse Light and Fog Lights
Fitted (please note that for certain vehicles we can fit UK style rear clusters instead of fixing
extra reversing and rear fog lights) - For Ford Mustangs we can also fit
Angel Eye Headlights similar to that on a BMW
Are
there any hidden costs?
The are no hidden costs.
Please be aware that Banks generally charge £10-£25 for a wire transfer if
you are paying us this way
Is
it possible to order US dealer fit options?
Yes, we are able to offer the full range of US dealer fit options. If the
optional extra you require is not listed on this site, please contact us for
more information
Can
I have custom modifications made to my car, such as larger alloys, made
before the car is shipped, in order to benefit from cheaper prices?
Yes, we aim to deliver your vehicle exactly how you want it, if you want any
modifications made before it is shipped to the UK, please let us know and we
will arrange everything for you.
For example, before this F150
was shipped we had larger exhausts fitted and performance gauges fitted to
the window pillar:

Mustang wing |
