I suspect you might be looking for a while, assuming you mean a preowned one. Early JDM imports are going to be RHD and I can't see why anyone would buy a LHD for use in the UK. Nor can I see why anyone would buy a LHD elsewhere in Europe, where prices are (I think) generally higher than the UK, and then sell it within the UK. So, unless I'm missing something, there's very little practical or economic reason why you should find a LHD for sale within the UK. But good luck with your search

FYI, they are cheaper in Germany than in Sweden.

And I mean European GT-R's.

Try look here if you want to buy from Europe. Belgium and France are the cheapest.

I guess only one of the Demo car from the magazine is LHD in the UK.

I tried this a few months ago... I spoke to Nissan UK (Tunbridge Wells HPC) and they would NOT order the car for me. Personally, I would like to France...

Just import car from Belgium.

Way cheaper only 55,000 euros (45,000 for 09 model).

you get the added tax back at export (which will be 3,000 euros).

Nissan UK doesn't do it for you.

NISSAN GTR..BLACK EDITION!!..2010.. LHD IN SPAIN.!!!.. | eBay

this has been up for around 6 months... I think Litchfields knows the car, no bad history as I looked, but I did not like the attitude of the dealer.

I had to arrange finance on my car and because it was LHD struggled (the response was "that I was going to take the car to europe and not pay" = stupid!!!). Spoke to the dealer and he said "dont tell them.... tell them what they need to know". I dont like dealing with people like that...... as I am sure that it means nothing for them to tell you "what you need to know about the car" to get you to buy it.

I was told that originally as well, but when I actually tired to place the order, it was a different story and they would not progress!!

also check your insurance as they are becoming a bit more picky
and if you need finance, you are going to struggle to find it

That was my experience with Nissan and Land Rover (both originally said they would do it, but when it came to ordering, they umm'd and arr'd and then said "no")
