Don't be completely disillusioned- people have imported cars with great success.
As I said, the main criteria is proof of manufacture before 1 January 1989-(build sheet from the factory will suffice).
Additional items that seem to need to be incorporated (this varies) are scuttle roll bar and door intrusion bars as these were mandatory here pre 1989.Best to get fitted in UK as easier to source there.
However, you are in the best position as you can source/view a car locally which is difficult from this end.
