In all likelihood, there is probably some VAT or additional tax on imports that might be due as well if importing but I am just speculating...

Think its bad there...in Hong Kong, entry level "import" luxury vehicles are crazy expensive - can be multiple six figure US$ as I've heard...I'm talking about 5 year old used base Porsche 911s, some BMWs.

England is the only European country that drives on the left - like the Japanese and Australians.

The rest of Europe (including Austria) drive on the right, like you guys, so a Japanese set-up would be no good for him. I remember in the 60's, Sweden decided to change from driving on the left to driving on the right - and they did it overnight!!!

In England quite a few people import cars from Japan, they are then set up to meet the UK legal requirements and the buyer normally saves himself a bit of money.
