Yummmmmm

It's worth renting a place in the UK for 12 months just to buy one there, then be able to bring it back at the end of the 12 months!

That's an idea. Do you think they'd be readily available in The Netherlands?

For those with British and Australian passports its easy....
You fly to England, arrive on Aus passport, buy the car, garage with family, fly back to Oz on your Pom passport, be here for 12 months on your pom passport, leave, go back ship the car back, leave on your Aus passport, and you meet all criteria... im pretty sure when you do a private import, you need to do a copy of every single page of your Australian passportTo prove you were there for 12 months! ........ and I think you need to prove it has been driven in the UK... so fuel receipts would suffice... (I was looking at importing a mondeo wagon about 4 years ago!)
