grey market japanese cars is an issue in the UK as the most of the japanese performance cars came there 1st or in larger quantities under a british law that allows grey market RHD vehicles.
One only needs to read CAR, topgear, or EVO to see the back ad pages full of grey market companies. Even the current issue of evo w/ the GTR on it mentions both limited legitimate imported and grey market R34 GT-R as a cult car.
specifically the car needs to be modified to UK spec, adding certain lighting features (rear fog light mainly), specific stickers for Ministry of Transportation MOT, and proper radio stations.
