Importing an old truck
Discussion
Hi, I posted this earlier in GG but had no responses. Maybe someone on here could help.
Hi
I've had an idea of finding and restoring an old Nissan D21 pickup as I've always had a love for them. I can't really explain why but I've decided I'd really like to own one. I decided this a while ago actually but my hunt has been fruitless. They didn't really sell the model I like in the uk so after reading a few readers car threads on PH I thought I may look further a field.
So a chap on here found and imported a beautiful old pagoda SL and had it shipped over from the states and more recently a chap bought a cool little Japanese Honda hatchback that he then had to import from Japan. I can't find these threads through the search unfortunately but there must be a few people who have been down this route.
Can anyone offer advice on the do's and don'ts of importing. I'm also in need of resources where I may find the vehicle I'm after. I just had a quick look on EBay.com and there's only 3 D21's listed which seems absurd as they were really very popular trucks I believe. Am I just looking in the wrong place. What are my chances of finding one in Japan, and which is an easier job of exporting from.
Many thanks for any advice

You can either buy online and import yourself or speak to a firm like Torque GT who could source and import one on your behalf for a fee.
