Companies that source, import and register car. US-UK

[Benbay001]

Can anyone recommend a company that will source a C5 Z06, ship it to the UK and get it on the road?

I want one at the end of the year but they are few and far between.

At the moment I just want a quote.

Thanks

It is a fairly easy task to do yourself and a good way to save a few £k's

I've heard this chap being recommended:

https://www.colinsautoexport.com/

but I have no idea if he's good or not. Great place to start would be the UK Corvette and Mustang owners forums some of whom will undoubtedly have used services like this

I used Colin.
I spotted a brand new Roush Mustang at a crackin price.
Problem is dealers cant sell new cars for export.
Contacted Colin who was doubtful at first but managed to persuade the dealer to sell to him.
That meant I had to pay Colin and not the dealer so more of a risk!.
But he proved totally trustworthy.
All went well from there , just be prepared to wait!
Colin I know will source and inspect any car you want.
Colin also uses STS at this end who have a reputation of solid gold.
If I can help please ask . Good luck!

Colin has sourced 2 trucks for me over the last year and I can't speak highly enough of him. Great guy, easy to deal with and trucks were pretty much exactly what he said they were.

How about sourcing from Europe?
A quick search found 5 in Germany, €22 to 33k

looked in Germany before and it appeared to me that the cars were generally higher mileage - with the added bonus of having (likely) been wrung out on the Autobahnen. Think that Germany also seems to be seeing few Lithuanian vehicles on Mobile.de and autoscout24.de

Also a lot of wrecks entering Europe from the USA and UAE, being repaired and then shipped to the UK as a clean un damaged car

I wouldn't know about the UAE, but from the USA yes, at least you can check up on the USA ones with Carfax

Yes, a fair few on ebay from a seller who has 3 or 4 different accounts, but all adverts state the same thing!

Thank you
I have been looking throughout Europe too but the choice is no where near the choice in the states
