E-reg etc denotes the year it was registered....is the prefix of the rego number.

another importing a car thread... lol...
I've decided that i want a second mk2... a 3 door. so since theres almost no chance of finding one here (was one for sale that i almost bought but it was too far gone condition-wise) i'm actually seriously contemplating importing one. ill be in europe in july most probably i've got a few Qs though maybe you guys could help me out plz. (and yes i know that i can only get a pre 1989 one)
Whats the deal with all the different registration plates in the UK? E-reg m-reg etc etc what do they mean? i'm after the best condition car i can find so which would be the one to go for?
Will there be any mk2's pre 1989 left in the UK that arent filled with rust from salty roads???
Is japan an alternative place to source one?
Whats the cost on the aussie end of the shipping/customs process?
id be getting it roro'd here so i guess thats about 2k sunk in shipping straight up. are there any other costs i should know about?
cheers guys, lots of questions i know sorry, wouldnt be asking if i wasnt serious about getting one though.
ps im gonna keep my current mk2 5dr too

I will be in the UK as part of my first leg going through out Europe!
However I will be in Germany about the 22nd of July about then so I will be keen to have a look around aswell
I would also love to have a look at containers you probably could fit 2 obviously buying a larger container for it.
