bodilx6 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm planning a trip through the south and Wales in September and might want to bring a classic UK or US car back home to Denmark with me (or rather my dad). I'm thinking 70'es (+/- 10 years or so). One of my favorites is a '78 Cadillac Eldorado but the smaller UK cars also apply for interest. Can you reccomend me any good, large preferably, dealerships in the area? Thanks Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 These types of cars tend to be sold on the internet (at least to establish an initial sales lead) rather than from dealerships. Most dealerships in the UK will be happy to sell you a new-to-3-year-old Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, etc, but not much else. 70s cars, because of their comparative rarity, only tend to be sold as one offs, not as one of a few sitting on a forecourt. You're best off searching the UK internet for these types of cars, and then visitng the dealer/seller: any dealer/seller you find is likely to only have one, maybe two at a push. It could involve a lot of travelling around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I pm'd Jurgen about this a few years back regards to a Corvette i was potentially buying. He can import it and do the paperwork/mods for your country. He WONT however guarantee the car as you'd have to find it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 ok, thanks. Here in Denmark we have a nice handfull of specialized dealers selling classic cars. I was hoping that UK was filled up with the same thing as you guys have much more of a culture around these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I dont know what your or your dad's budget is, but when my missus lived in Southend I used to drool over this place regularly http://www.purnellclassics.co.uk/ There was also one in Leigh on Sea that used to be rammed with unusual classics, I fell in love with a Renault 5 turbo 2 in there. Cant for the life on me remember what it was called though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
