Hi All,
I have been reading up on Motor bikes and there are 3 different types of import.
1 UK Spec Produced for the uk by the manufacturer.
2 parallel import (imported by a dealer and bought up to UK spec.
3 Grey import. (imported privately no mods apart from SVA stuff)
I was wondering are the middlehurst cars by this definition Parallel imports. The Skyline was never released over here officially and was only available in "UK spec" from Middlehurst motorsport. (dealer not manufacturer.)
I know there are lots of small differences between UK and Jspec but if this is the case then who decided on the spec for a UK car ?
I'm not trying to start a flame war but I am curious.. as the insurance seems to be a tad cheaper etc..
have fun
Steve
