Potential Euro import coupe

Morning all. I'm Mark. Nice to meet you! I've been looking for a 20vt coupe in my area for some time now and lo and behold - one has come up. I've not seen the thing in the flesh yet so that will obviously change things, but my main interest is this: it's an RHD 98 model that was imported from Europe in 99.

How will this affect my ownership? I want to hold onto it while it becomes a classic, will that happen as readily as if it were a UK car?

Thanks and apologies if it's a dumb question. Mark.

Sorry, should've said: registration plate is S492 OSL.

Quite a few coupes came into the UK as their owners were in the forces. I don't believe these prove to be an issue for any current owners but am sure forum power will clarify this. Hope it works out for you.
