<- potential problems w registration the UK?>
Assuming you have paid the VAT by now, I think there could be probs with a new one because of Type Approval or whatever they call it. It's got stricter lately and I think the 1HZ motor has bad emissions (it's might be a 1HD though). But then again, Germany can't be any more lenient than UK on emissions...
Worth checking before you buy. Do a search as it was discussed here before I believe.
If a used 78 before a certain year is UK registerable - I still think Australia is the best place to get them: 12v, a/c, twin tanks, snorkel and flippers - but split rims.
Or take the easy route and just get a nice 80 in the UK from £4-5k and enjoy a ride your granny would love - because being different aint cheap.
