    It's up to you really whether it is worth it or not to import one as I would imagine that there are probably none of these in this country.

    It's a beautiful car OP and looks like the owner knew what he was doing with the mods/maintenance.

    One minor concern should be the decat, since you'll have to NCT it soon after you import it. Ask the owner if he still has the cat that passed the MOT with and if not, use that to your advantage and bargain.

    Worst scenario would be to buy a new one which are easily got ie Ktec Racing.

    My honest advice if your buying would be to buy a standard car and mod it yourself.

    Looks to have been modified to a high standard tbh provided seller can provide receipts.
