We import everything from everyday hatchbacks to premium luxury cars like a Bentley. Every import to us as a company is incredibly important – but we understand that importing a Bentley comes with a different level of service requirement.
Over the years we have imported cars ranging from the Porsche 918 Spyder to timeless and priceless classic vintage cars. Customers trust us with their imports because of our bespoke process that is tailored to each car and owner’s requirements.
For luxury cars like the Bentley, we can offer enclosed transport alongside a fully insured transportation of the car, whether it is in the EU or outside of the EU.
As an added extra to those with prestigious cars, we are more than happy to take your Bentley for any routine servicing whilst it is at our facilities during the registration process. We also offer car detailing using a third party if you would like the paintwork rejuvenated.
Once your Bentley arrives at My Car Import we take care of the modifications required to ensure compliance within the UK and all of the registration paperwork is taken care of. Depending on the origin and age of your Bentley you may also require an IVA test which is undertaken in-house meaning no transportation of your car to Government testing centres.
