Hi There,
My names Karl Hardy.
I have been importing a large variety of vehicles mainly into Australia for 7 years. Especially high performance Japanese cars.
I'm also the owner of one of the highest powered Toyota Soarers on the Planet! Here's an article about my car!http://www.planetsoarer.com/thrustmaster/thrustmaster.htm
I am looking at sending cars to the UK, Ireland, Europe directly from Japan.
Are there any members of your club that would like to Import directly from Japan and save money?
I have mechanics all over Japan who can check the vehicles before final purchase is made!
Dealers always mark the prices up (they have to to survive) we can offer any vehicle which is allowed to be imported into the UK, Ireland, Europe (please check with your local dept of transport / vehicle registration authority) at discounted prices.
Please contact us if this interests you. You can go to my site (which is currently being re- constructed) or contact me directly from here!
I am very aware of clients concerns when Importing a car from another Country and can hopefully answer any queries you may have. There is a chance I will be in Europe just after Christmas and might be able to meet some of you that have a Passion for Japanese sportscars.
Regards
Karl Hardy
