	Driving on the left or right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vehicles registered in Hong Kong and Macau are required to have a special number plate issued by the authorities in Guangdong province to drive legally on the mainland.

	Town & County - Events (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Grey imports are so called because they often appear to be identical to vehicles that have been specifically produced for the European market, yet technical specification and some components will differ.
		In the case of Japanese vehicles, this is often due to the punitive MOT test that is conducted by Japanese authorities, meaning that for many customers it is preferable to buy a new vehicle and seek to dispose of the old one.
		Hence the majority of Japanese grey imports brought to the UK are 2-3 years old on arrival, and have been sold at a low price because they have not met the stringent Japanese MOT standards.

	Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Evo was originally intended only for Japanese markets but demand on the 'grey import' market led the Evolution series to be offered through limited type-approval in the United Kingdom and in various European markets from around 1998 (Evo V-VI).
		Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth generation Evolution to the United States in 2003 after witnessing the success Subaru had in that market with their Impreza WRX, a direct competitor in other global regions.
		The Lancer Evolution was unique among its competitors in the World Rally Championship in that it is a homologated Group A car slightly modified to be able to race competitively against WRC class cars.

	Imported car insurance for import cars
		If you already own an imported car, or are thinking of buying this type of vehicle for the first time, you may be aware that imported car insurance premiums will be expensive.
		Grey import cars are not European Union approved which means the vehicles do not confirm to EU standards.
		In terms of insurance for imported cars, it is easier to obtain quotations for parallel imports because they are known quantities as far as the insurers are concerned.

	House of Commons - Trade and Industry - Eighth Report
		The RMIF suggest that any grey import car should be labelled as such and a grey import tag should be clearly added to registration documents and held on files at the DVLA.[136] This would enable all future purchasers of the car or motorbike to be made aware that they are buying a grey import.
		In terms of parallel imports, one distinction that was made by the BPI was that whilst the term parallel import implies that a product is being imported "in parallel", this is not always the case in the record industry.
		The discount inquiry indicates that parallel imported products are, on average, supplied to community pharmacists at a higher discount rate than the equivalent UK-sourced proprietary products.[229] Consequently there is some incentive for pharmacists to dispense parallel imported drugs because their profit levels will then be higher.

	Isuzu Australia - News
		The TIC reported that the Department of Transport and Regional Services has briefed the Federal Roads Minister Jim Lloyd, recommending that the legislation relating to the '15 year plus vehicle scheme' be changed to restrict the flow of grey import vehicles.
		While the grey imports can be modified to allegedly meet ADR requirements at time of manufacture, this is because they are generally 15 or more years old.
		While the grey imports may seem attractive given their often low market prices, the combination of a lack of parts and service availability and compliance with recent ADRs means purchase price savings can be false economy.

		It makes sense that vehicles made for the Japanese domestic market will be of the highest specification, maintained to the highest standards and be available in greater number and variety.
		Every vehicle must undergo a compulsory vehicle inspection every two years, at high cost (astronomical in fact) and must meet very high standards.

	Roof Rack Warehouse - Towbars & Towbar Fitting FAQ
		Most vehicles have to be drilled, the interior trim removed for access and some under-seal striped etc. so you must have a reasonable toolkit and wheel ramps.

		Davies introduced the four per cent cess on all imports as part of new tax measures to help finance the country's $263 billion budget this fiscal year, as he opened the 2003-4 budget debate in Parliament Thursday.
		For a long time the duty of 280% has existed on vehicles of 3000 CCs and over as a means of penalising luxury and gas-guzzling vehicles.
		Davies says he is tightening up a practice in which contracts are signed by some ministries for contractors to import vehicles duty-free without following all the rules relating to the types of vehicles.
