Importing cars was very worthwhile maybe 25 years ago, but then the manufacturers lowered prices and the trade reduced down. I guess the current eu price would be about right at the previous euro exchange rate of about 1.15 to 1.2 but now at 1.33 it makes the uk look expensive.

In fact an exchange rate of about 1.3EUR per 1 GBP is the the breakeven point in this example. Stronger pound than that then cheaper to import. Weaker pound than this (which historically has been the case for alot of the time) and it is cheaper to buy in the UK.
