if any of ye are interested in an altezza an option could be to import it to Ireland and get it registered here. Then re-register it in England. It MIGHT be a way of avoiding the test..
Nice looking motor though..

I dont know but i have heard of people from Ireland bringing cars into England and registering,insuring and taxing them on English addresses. After 6 months the car can be imported into Ireland and plates changed over to Irish ones for free. I would have saved myself €10k but i just didnt want the whole 6 month waiting thing. Id do it if i was importing a car like a sl350 merc.
There has to be a loop hole. Are the tests only done on japanese inported cars?. We can import a car that could set off alarms here and nothing said.
I'll check it out..
