    Im thinking of importing an astra hatchback van from the uk but cant seem to find any . All I can see are the normal long astra van . Can anyone recommend any sites for buying small vans ?

    There are none because they are not sold there. Most car derived vans come into Ireland as passenger cars and are converted to commercials here. The old Astra estate type van would probably be the only one that you would see sold originally in the UK.

    Did hey even sell a van version of the hatch here? I know they did a 5 door van of the last model alright.

    Tax and vrt are low on the car version. Why not just get a car and black out the windows and fold the seats down

    I presume the OP was talking about the Astra H 3dr Sportvan.

    Baa. Baa.

    I'm going to the UK like the rest of the sheep to buy a car as Johnjoe down the pub said there was fierce value there.

    Haven't bothered doing any research myself, just following the heard.

    Bit of a sheep shot there R.O.R!

    Buyers are flocking to the uk to buy cars so they don't get fleeced. Ewe should know better.
