Interesting!
My uncle used to be a grey import dealer 15 years ago, I've mentioned it enough times in the past, and given the resurgence in people buying imported Japanese cars, I'm really tempted to explore getting involved. If only to fund me making trips to Japan a couple of times a year (or more), and getting to drive all those cars again.
He would buy the cars in Japan, sort everything out, then a bunch of us, him, a couple of other uncles, my dad, and sometimes me, would go overnight to Hook of Holland, meet the cars, then put them on the ferry and drive them back from Harwich.
From Harwich I remember some ridiculous midnight runs in all the Japanese supercars, on Dutch plates, zero fucks given. Standing - triple figures side by side twin turbo Supra and RX7 was one of the highlights.
