Japanese imports.

[steve lyden brow]

Now that the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon GTA 3.2 litre V6 SELESPEED has been discontinued, I am thinking of importing one from Japan. Is the spec. of Japanese cars (even one they IMPORTED into Japan in the first place, like my Alfa ) likely to be so very different from a UK car, as to need a lot of modifying to make it legal ?

Does anyone know of an agency that can provide help with importing a car from Japan ?
Cheers,
Steve.

also won't have a foglight i suspect.
