Hi

Looking for recommendations for a company to import a car from Cyprus. Thinking of using mycarimport......anyone got any experience with them or can anyone recommend an alternative

Thanks

I agree if I could convince my wife and boss in having a week away then would be a great road trip, unfortunately I just can't spare the time at the moment, hence why I need a reputable, reliable company to look after shipping the car back to the UK

Kingstown are just down the road from me - I've used them loads of times and they're excellent - Mark and Alan usually nip by for a coffee and a glance at the car they've imported for me.

Great people to deal with

Thanks all, for some reason I hadn't thought about using Kingstown, as I thought they focused just on the US. Spoke to Mark today so hopefully all will be sorted in the next day or two

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.
