280ZXDatsun
Forum User
Hi, I am new to this forum and will soon be a very proud owner of a Red 1983 Datsun 280Zx Targa
I am hoping someone on here has imported one of these or even any car into the UK, as I would like some help, been on direct gov site and they've just made me worry even more. So much stuff to do
The car is a LHD with a KM/H Speedometer only! I've read on direct gov I have to get a certified garage with proof of installation to install this and also I have to get the lights dipped to UK spec.
The lights aren't the problem, it's the dials for the speedo, most 280ZXs I've seen have dual (mph and kmh) but mine doesn't , all I can find on eBay and other places is speedo clusters which I don't need I just need the card (or whatever it is) behind the cluster.
I "think" the car was registered in the UK previously as the guy I'm buying it off in Sweden sent me a picture of it with a UK Plate (UHJ 153Y), anyone regonsied it?, I know there's only a hand full of these on UK roads.
If anyone can shed any light on these issues and give me any advise on importing that would be much appreciated
