Does anyone know the cost or procedure for importing a car into Europe. Most likely the car will cone from Britian.

yes from Europe to Egypt
1st category: 0 - 1600 CC == > you pay 40% customs + 15 % sales taxes + 3% development fees
2nd category: 1601 - 2000 CC ==> you pay 135% customs + 30% sales taxes + 5% Development fees

if you enter the car on trip ticket i think you gonna pay around 1500 EGP for 6 months period, after that, the car must go out Egypt's borders then you can enter it again.

Hi, if you wanna take my advice as a lawyer and car/motorcycle tuning expert (hobby). FORGET IT .... you will not be able to import a car to Egypt, unless you are a foreign student in one of the national universities and the car will be by trip-ticket which is a draw back system by which you are not allowed to use it except 6 months a year and park it in the free zone area ..... al such would cost you yearly 24K !!!!!! i.e. simply you can rent a car and save yourself all such hassle and waste of money!!
Cheers!!
