Yes, there is an official importer, I think it is Ian Allen in Surrey.

I bought a used car from Ian Allan not that long ago and dealt with Craig. They really are one of the good guys out there. Great experience

Not sure if it's true for this generation or not. But if it's a UK/Euro spec model and has differences from the US model. Be warned that these bespoke parts might be a challenge to find later down the line.

Of course if your ownership plan is new Vehcile for a few years this won't be a problem. But if you plan to keep it a while it can be an issue.

I have a UK/Euro spec 4th Gen Camaro. It has different door mirrors, rear bumper and fog lights as well as a few other bits compared to a US model of the same era. These bespoke Euro parts are now no longer avaialbe. Or cost 10x what they should if you can find old stock or used parts. GM is basically fking useless and has no interest in supporting the cars or the parts.

I've owned the car since 2006. Only 4 years past it's end production date. Although UK retailers where still stocking them and selling them as late as 2003. This has been an on going issue since then. It puts me off owning any GM product like this again that has Euro parts on it. I'd much rather import myself or buy a grey import.
