Thanks ash/miggs. I agree I don't want it now I know. Strange thing it was almost as if I had been cheated on Haha. Damn cars they play more on heart strings than women.

Haha yeah depending on which choice I go with. It either a transit pick up back of or something blue and fit. haha. Yeah I will keep you guys posted on the import thread as I go along. Will try and write and research as much as I can on here. MK

Thanks Gambit/Jay. Been great to chat to you both, will update you as things progress. Currently the one in Japan is £3.8K with around $1000 (£850) shipping costs. Then of course it will need collecting and registering. So thinking another £1500.So about £5.5K give or take, still around £1500 to £2000 cheaper than the one at SVA. However the hassle involved could be exponential. See what happens, keep your eyes out will be getting a thread sorted when I know which route I am going down. Either way it may involve a drive down to dover potentially.

Well this is it mate, long as the bodywork is clean I don't mind replacing all other components to start with. Once other monetary life issues are sorted, I will then have a fantastic starting point to start really going for a complete overhaul. Full strip down. Everything done so it is like brand new. That was the plan with the above. Shame money issues got in the way. You know I put the above car up for sale because we were skint. So put it up for sale expecting it to be a long hard sale and it sold in 5 days. I dont think I really had enough time to contemplate what had just happened but I can tell you this, 2 months later I didn't need the money anymore. :( So there is a car here which is clean and one in Japan also. Do you guys have specific forum for importing cars. I can't seem to see it. If there is I will start a new thread there and progress the purchase etc as it happens. Here are some pics of the car in Japan I have been put onto today.

Yeah they have said they would. I don't know however if the price is a little steep. Need to do some looking as I think it is about £1500 over priced. Depending on mileage of course. I have been in touch with a company called J's Garage in Japan. Spoke to them originally when I bought the above car about getting one. They have found me one which currently is going to be coming in around the 4.5K mark. However has got 96K KPH miles. Looks amazing though. See how far I can get before the end of the day. :)

Thats it mate. I think it has hurt my pride more than anything. However, time to pick myself up and move on. Has anyone or do you know where I should ask about people using SAV imports. They happen to have one, I spoke to them a while back about swapping some part from some of there more standard cars like the wheels and suspension. I am all about the standard look and feel. :)

Hi all here are the pictures from the owner. This happened in 2011. The guy that owned got clipped by a truck which span him into a raised man whole which threw him into a tree, The bloke of the hgv didn't stop. So as this was 2011 Admiral had the car collected and paid out. So I ran a tax check about a year ago and it was showing needing a VIC (think it is VIC or whatever it is when there has been a claim) check. So I am guessing it is still possibly out on the road. It is not showing as insured though. Who knows I think it is time to move on.

Shall do pal. Thanks for your help appreciate it. I will go and have a look at them now. You must have a spare few quid haha, I am going to have divorce on my hands when I tell the missus whats going on but she usually gets on board after I have got the car haha. Cheers mate

Well this is the thing mate. I dont know if the guy is yanking my chain or not. Had similar responses before about if being scrapped stripped for parts. However he has offered pictures of it smashed... sooo seems a genuine thing to say. So messaged him. Now there is only one thing left to do I feel, look for another one.

Hi all thanks for the post. A guy has said it's written off by hgv. He has pics... Sad day if it is true.

Thanks both, yes any help would be good. Via FB. I have done the tax check also. Tried going through DVLA. They are no help at all unless he had driven into me and then driven off. So I am stuck. Just hitting all the clubs. :) Cheers Guys MK

Hi All, Hi has anyone seen or know of who owns the above car. I want to track it down and buy it back. Or does anyone know what has happened to it. I know i sold it to a company, who then sold it to a guy from the Yorkshire area. from my understanding he has a Evo as well as this. Thanks for any help or input.
