Hi there,
I managed to import my Cobra replica to Japan successfully. I used a specialist company in Tokyo that I found. It helped a lot that I had the registration papers from Germany and that it had passed the TUV inspections there. There were some small modifications needed (side repeat indicators - that were mounted in the side vents, a reversing light and a driver's seat headrest - removeable). I cannot remember the actual cost but the total including getiing it registered was maybe $2000

I had three fun years with my car there and was made really welcome by Japanese car enthusiasts everywhere I went and managed to get along to some great meets.

I am now living in Germany again and my car is back here - legally registered for the second time - much easier than the first.
