Grey market importers often have no UK legal registration — leaving you with no legal recourse.
No pre-shipment inspection means hidden damage is only discovered after arrival at your expense.
Incomplete documentation can cause weeks of customs delays and additional holding fees.
Without buyer protection there is no refund or recourse if a vehicle is misrepresented or never delivered.
UK-registered, independently inspected, fully documented, and buyer protected. Windward Motor Group — the only way to import.
