Moving to UK

I live in Hawaii now and will be Moving to england in December , I have a few question just wondering if I could get some info . I currently own a 07 Charger RT and was wondering what does the market look like towards US cars being sold there? also Im looking to buying a Rx7 FD while im in UK , I will be coming back to the states in about 3 years so theres more then enough time to try and find a good shape , fair priced, beauty of a car while im there. Has anyone tried to bring a Right hand drive FD back to the states? are there many LHD ones there? And one last Q? are the prices really that cheap there ? I look on some of these sites like autotrader.uk.co and I see prices for cars like a Supra for 3k pounds or even a Rx7 for 5k pounds , wich is still a super nice price compared to here , I cant imagine finding a FD for $10k . Any info would be great and thnx in advance.

Jay, have a look on MazdaRotaryClub.com. They have cars for sale at the bottom of the forums, so should get an idea of the prices they are currently selling for.

There are not that many LHD cars, let alone FD's in the UK.

Whereabouts are you moving to?

Well Looks like il be moving to Harrogate , North Yorkshire . I would still be more then happy to get my hands on a RHD Rx7 and try the process of making it US.Spec legal to bring it back , Im pretty deep in the tuning world , such as building full race engines , doing heavy amounts of body work and things like that , so hopefully making a car US legal is just gonna be swapping windshields, doors, bumper supports and other things like that . Also what are the junkyards like? And thnx for the info

The forum has people breaking cars, plus there's a couple of places that you'll be able to get parts from.
