#238 - UK based - project thread
Hi Guys, 1st post.
I've been on the hunt to import a Z/28 into the UK for a couple of months. After much waiting, researching and saving funds I'm now just about in a position to buy. I've been watching cars come and go on the market and have a pretty good idea of prices, but now's the time I try to find the 'right' car for me. I wanted to post here to introduce myself, but also hoping any East Coast members could help me by keeping their eyes out for any cars they see that fit my requirements!
Look forward to joining the Z/28 owners ranks soon! kind regards, Patrick Last edited by pat_t; 12-18-2021 at 07:16 AM. |

I would highly recommend you find a couple dealers that have one with the Google and fly over here to verify in person what you're buying before you spend that kind of money shipping a car.

Agree that this would be the ideal scenario. Sometimes the good cars come and go too quickly to make this feasible though! I'm going to be around Salt Lake City in a few weeks so I hope to find a few there to go look at and maybe take a test drive or two, but probably wouldn't put a deposit down there due to the added complexity/cost to ship over to the East Coast ports?

There is a Ashen Gray one in California, but has more miles, and far from the east coast. Same website. Definitely on the PP sale...I think it was just listed too!

I know they aren't the exact colors but Autonation Chevy has 2 new ones in the Baltimore MD area. A white one in Timonium & a Red Hot in Laurel. May be an easy ship from the port of Baltimore.

I just got my 2015 with 25 test miles and paid over 65k at a good new car dealer in Virginia Beach. It is Red Hot with all the options including A/C, Radio/Speakers, and Wickerbill.

Thought you might be interested in my car history as it's probably a little different to what's available over your side of the Atlantic Lotus Exige S1, BMW E46 M3 (pictured at the ring), Locost7 (w/ sequential 'box, pictured at Spa), Renaultsport Megane R26, Renaultsport Twingo, Mitsubishi Evo IV, and my first car a 1275cc Mini! (plus a few boring ones I've ommited) Plans for the Z/28 are definitely to take it to the Nurburgring and Spa Francorchamps! Last edited by pat_t; 11-24-2021 at 03:56 AM. |
