I'd guess a good place to start looking is here:

www.chryslerjeep.co.uk/chrysler/r5/home2.asp

Chrysler UK's web page, which should allow you to find a local Chrysler dealer. Vipers do show up in the used stock list, but for some reason they're not listed under new cars... I'd guess a dealer would be able to get you one though.

I know you can order a 2003 viper from Newport imports in Gillingham Kent and probably from somewhere like American Car Imports too!

Have you thought about importing one?There are all sorts for sale on ebay.com.Even had the SPIDERMAN Viper for sale.Personally If we could get a second Viper I`d get a last edition red with white stripes.We`d have a HIS ans Hers then ----cool!

since the GTS and RT/10 viper body shape has now finished production I doubt a UK chrysler garage could get hold of a official new zero mileage car, there are still a few about the US ... www.woodhouseviper.com/find_a_viper.html
maybe an importer is the route to go.

If you want the new SRT/10 I've heard they won't be available from Chrysler UK until '04. The 03's will be hard to come by in the US unless you pay over the odds as next years production sold out months ago

I've heard back from Woodhouse Viper. They have a few GTS and one RT/10 in stock with between 9 and 60 miles. They do ship to europe, however they said that all other details are handled by the purchaser.

Where can I find out details regarding importation, taxes, etc.?

Woodhouse has a quality name, Bill Pemberton is the guy to deal with everybody in the US go's to him.
All I know a container costs between £800-£2000 depending who you use, if you go official add 27.5% for VAT and import tax's, then a few hundred quid for SVA test alterations and then the test fees. Can't recommend a company to do the paperwork

Your local vehicle licensing office does a very useful booklet on importing. Also another place to ask is the local customs office and your chamber of commerce - I know this is a personal import so the local tax office want the vat, and the dvlc will want the type approval cert and possibly an mot -before you can register the car
