let me know if you do find out anything - that'll be our next project
If you look in the vehicles for sale bit there was one for sale a few months back that the chap had imported himself 05 D3 V8 HSE, LR Passion tree bars, wildbear compressor guard, LRP switch panel, ARB rear locker + compressor, Trigger 6 shooter electrical system
12 RRS SDV6 HSE (Hers) - Gone and replaced with an I Pace - I can tell you now EV is not the future yet

I've had a few of these imported from Japan and put one up for sale here last year.
Certainly aren't that many of them in the UK, except the armoured police ones.
I'm in the process of registering another but like a lot of things COVID has slowed everything down. I'll likely put up a sales ad here in a few weeks/months depending on how quickly things go through etc.

Does anyone know where Burcham Car Sourcing is based.
They imply London somewhere but I think probably Dorset?

They are based in Haslemere. They are happy to drop off cars all around the country though.

What engine is in the 5.0 D4 - I'm guessing it's not a Jag unit ?

I believe that its a Ford manufactured engine but listed as the AJ V8, made in Bridgend and has a number of FoMoCo bits on it.
