M2RX Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi all, New user here... i'm looking to import either a 240z or 260z with an RB engine from the US to the UK. Could anyone point me in the right direction of anyone or any company that may be able to help with this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88dangerdan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Check with member "Villeman" I sent him a car from California to Germany back in May. He took care of all the shipping arrangements from his side. He could probably point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 CFR Rinkens will do it, they have ships to Europe leaving all the time from many different ports and a proprietary car shipping system for containerised vehicles second to none. I have shipped with them before on many occasions, and I think that is who I recommended Villeman use as well. I don't know how it is since Brexit, the trick was to import to Netherlands so as to be tax exempt, then run the NL rego into UK for decreased tax exposure. There was some stuff going on like that through Shannon or other Irish ports as well... Most of my stuff goes to NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If you google 'cfr rinkens' they will show right up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ereschkigal Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Or you may visit the Netherlands. There are quite a few importer if you are not looking for a special car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Will follow this, as I'm also very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villeman Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 just my 2 cent...don´t go to the netherlands. Normally they know quite well how much the cars are worth and then take it by 1.5 -2 just for good measure. I adressed this in my build thread, vacation + CFR is your best bet, then comes nothing for a long time and then other importers. If you need some names of "fair" importers who will sell you a Datsun let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 ^^^^Now I wonder where that "Vacation in SoCal and CFR Rinkens" advice came from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villeman Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) ah, just some random guy nobody here knows.... TobiD....TonyZ.... something like that ^^ but he was right! Edited February 16, 2017 by Villeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
