Biggest problem was anything that could be stolen was either taken on route or at other ports of call or in dublin by anyone from stevedores to joe bloggs that just walked into the compound.

i have the Email of the original importer and when mine came off he boat in Jan 07, he said the window was smashed in, the DVD head unit and all the gaugery and Gucci parts were ripped out, he said it wasn't at all uncommon! its a shame really, if i had been him i would have been gutted

found glass under the carpet recently to verify

I was lucky that at the time we were in college in dublin and afterwards i worked in dublin so could always meet the boats often was down in dublin port at 7.30 in the morn waiting for them to start to unload around 8am to make sure our cars came off the boat slowly after my rx7 came off the boat minus the whole bottom half of the really rare veilside bumper. Worst i seen up there was an r33 gtr with the loom cut not even unplugged where someone robbed a power fc and was too ignorant to unplug it.

Gas the amount of parts and bits and pieces we had and bits i still have because i got to the cars before any scumbag could pick bits off at will.
 
UPDATE:

Emailed my old agent and these cars were all sold to a car importer i wont say who as its none of my business in 2009, and were all paid for and doc's issued de-reg etc so i assume they had the same hassle we had and couldn't get them released so we dodged a bullet.

So they are i would assume in limbo because of Dublin port bureaucracy as an aside at the time we bid €2400 cif for the r33 and had the bid accepted so they went cheap as a lot i'd imagine.
 
could it be the vrt on these is from when they landed
and now they are worth a lot less
so not worth clearing
 
No the vrt would be from the day its presented to revenue, although legally they can only be in the state 24hrs from import without re-registration these technically aren't in the state as such if i understand right.

The biggest problem with these was the standing quay rent on it from when i was interested in them anyway
 
that would explain it :thumbsup:
strange one alright :cuckoo:

Thats not a dealers lot by the way, that plot of land belongs to dublin port co, what happened was a dealer had paid the japanese agents 50% for these and they were sent out fob, with balance and shipping to be paid on them when they landed as was fairly normal at the time. And was a safe way usually as de reg papers, bill of lading etc wouldn't be released until balance was cleared on each unit but the dealer who bought them had gone bust by the time they landed, and yuwa shipping needed paying for the shipping, the agent needed the final 50% (with a discount obviously), plus stevedores, customs clearance duties etc all the usuals.

The reason i had to let the skyline gts-t and the b4 and a levin bzr go was typically Irish dublin port co wanted standing charges of 50 quid a day for each and it was adding to 4 or 5 k i still have details on my gmail. Back then we brought in a lot of stuff around 120 yokes from a few different agents and the one that owned these offered them to customers with personal account managers first we secured three of them someone else got the impreza the rest first if i remember right it was a wrx ra obviously they had the same issues we had and left them go.

The levin by the way isn't in that pic i dont think got reversed into by something quayside in dublin and the quarter was in shite when i went up to see them.
