I would do it, and did do it.
I was technically the third owner though; a Japanese fella from new, my mate who imported it as far as paperwork goes (but only drove it as far as my house), then me.
I don’t recall many issues, tbh. It will need registering with DVLA and it will be higher spec (eg mine was 1992 with aircon) and in better condition (no salt/grit) than its UK counterpart.
It’ll need a rear fog light (easy) and the odometer will be in kph. The speedometer in mine was already in mph.
Would you buy a car imported from Japan? What are the issues?
