Termi Landed in the UK

[Andyman]

Well after a 14 month wait due to the first importers Bonsai Cars going bust at the begining of this year, we now have had the Cobra collected from the docks

Yes this was the Cobra that was advertised on pistonheads by Bonsai Cars in March last year and for once in my life I went for it and beat alot of other people to the deal.

For more details on all the problems I have had read this as i was not alone:

So now after talking to the exporter in Japan, which was a slow process which got slower once the earthquake hit, we came to a deal which released the car.

Now my next problem was getting the car collected and IVA'd etc, to which at short notice Ron at STS imports has come up trumps and colleted the car from Southampton last Wednesday and will be doing the honours over the next few weeks.

Today we went down to Rons place to see the bain of my life for the last year
and remember it has not had a wash for at least 14 months:-s














Roll on the next few weeks=P~

Take some more photo's when you get more in to it you have to have a lot of patience but it sure looks like it was worth it Best of luck

Finally! I can't wait to see it once you have cleaned her up. Congrats on finally getting it done. Now you are the talk of the town. Kate and William who?

Great, Andy!!!!!! I've been wondering about this at least once a week for a long time (and I'm sure you have been, too) and it's great to hear a good ending to this tale. Congratulations!

Wow...14 months? How did you not go crazy?

[SmokinStang]

A Big Congrats!! No one can ever tell you that your not a patient man....

Looking forward to learning more about your new baby, and ultimately that 1st, long awaited drive!

congrats on FINALLY getting your car....very happy for you.

look forward to seeing the car all cleaned up !!

question for you....any idea what happened to the horse in the grill? I am assuming that metal plate on the front bumper is for the plate?

[SVT10th]

Congrats! Wow that was along process. I'm glad it finally all came together. Keep us posted with pics!
That's got to be one heck of a rare car over there!


PS: I'm kinda digging the japan-spec side turn signals and the 99 Cobra style tails with the amber turn signals....
PPS: Get some lowering springs on that thing asap! It's a little 4x4-ish.....

Thanks guys, it has been a long wait but the next 3 weeks will be very long while we get it on the road.

The horse is present it just fell off

As far as we can tell there is about 5 03/04 Cobras here in the UK, so a rare beast on the road......
