Does anyone know the problems, pitfalls and procedures on how to locate and import a 993 RS / 964RS from mainland europe, I know vehicle inspection will be a bit of an headache but I assume there are experts out there as we have in the UK.

But the main criteria would be is there going to be a big enough saving worth the hassle to import as opposed to buying in the UK.

dick, that's how I've bought my last 2 cars.......

the key is finding the right one, rather than the cheapest one....

best source of RS's from here and in europe is www.gtclassics.co.uk down in andover

If you are talking about the white one, then I heard on good authority that it has suffered bad accident damage - almost written off.

As for buying from mainland Europe - it's a fairly straight forward process. I don't think there is much to be saved - it's more about finding the right car for you!
