    advice pls !! I found a good looking alpine turbo for sale should i buy it or not ?

    Help pls , i found this nice alpine a reasonable price... only problem is its a french LHD car.
    Should i go over to france , buy it and import it back by insuring on chasis no? etc will i need to convert the steering wheel ? how can i do this ? as it seems to be a really nice looking car with only 30k km on the clocks i really want to get my hands on it. can anyone advise me on how to proceed , any of you already imported a car from france?
    thx for any advice in advance

    I have a mate that lives in France and can advise on what is required .Fairly simple to bring into UK , the other way round is more complicated .He could also transport it over for you dependent on where it is .He visits UK every month and has covered transporter .

    You will of course be paying a premium for a French car ? They tend to sell for double/treble UK RHD prices ....I have another option for you

    the car is in paris but can arrange to have it dropped at callais or where ever needs be.
    the car is under £1000 and im sorry i get confused with french terminology and UK its a r5 alpine in france (r5 gordini over here) not an alpine v6 sorry i didnt explain that very clearly.
