How do I calculate VRT on a Countryman?

I'm looking at importing a MINI Countryman from the UK, but the revenue site doesnt even have that version under MINI, never mind the model. I'm asking if you know of a point of contact to get an approximation from before importing as I don't want to arrive at an NCT centre and get told that I owe something crazy.

Thanks

Pat, Slane

When to order a new car for 2018?

Going to order a new car for delivery in 2018. When will garages start taking order for the New Year? I have no trade in either, so should I push for a discount because of this?
