It's fairly straight forward. Pre 88 cars can come in as a personal import.
my cabby cost around $4k inc rego. To import.
ive family in the UK so makes it easier.
just find a seller who's willing to help you.
then organise someone like ! International Shipping Company | International Removals | Overseas Movers Anglo Pacific Plc to send it.
they should collect it in the UK.

Any good / trusted websites I can search in the UK for the actual car?

[dylan8]

its not as simple as finding one, buying it and shipping it over.
lots of rules if you actually want to have it registered here

[mjv79]

You do need to get government approval too, before you can ship it. Then there's the state rules, for rego etc.

A real Mk1 Gti Campaign, even in UK, will cost a lot of money. +all the expense to bring it here. end up cost about same money.
However I think 18K is too much, I remember beginning of last year, there was a real nice one the owner initially also asked for 18K up.
Eventually I think he sold it around 13K.

Importing a golf is easy, i just done it with my mk1

Buy the car
Get import approval
Organise shipping
Collect it from the docks once it gets here - i got a vic roads permit to drive it home
Meet ADR rules - side intrusion bars and child anchor points if its coming from the UK
Then get a roady
then rego

Its not a cheap exercise now, a good MK1 GTI in the uk will sting you 5k in pounds, through the exchange rate your over 10k in dollars to start with, shipping is around 2-3k american, ADR rule engineer was 700, roady was another 500 and then rego.
