Darren in England has a very nice JDM Ebony, Version L with the 4WS also.

This one has only 70K in kilometres on it and is Version L with options and in the best colour combination.

If I was not financially strapped this minute I would look to import that car, it has everything that I would need in a showroom SVX, right miles, right condition, right model, perfect colour.

As Chris says, drooooooool!!!

That would not surprise me. Most Japanese Yahoo sales put that in.

I think it is a Japanese thing, a cultural thing. They live in a Red Tape hell-hole, and would rather not be bothered by extra paperwork.

If purchasing anyway, I would use a local agent to buy for me. That way it gets around the No International Sales bit, and you have the bonus of getting somebody to check the condition for you, and you don't buy sight unseen.

Of course you pay a commission, but it is still a safer way to do it.

Joe

Joe -

Translation of "L"ead Mica is "R"ed Mica.

Same thing with our wheels when they are put on backwards L is for Light and the other side is Reft.

Do you think that's collect?

Don't mean to digress here but Tom, I painted the center bar below the grille on my silver black. Looks like the touch up below on yours. What do you think?

Hey Joe,

A Ruby JDM 91 popped up on Autotrader today for 4995. I think it might be the same one you saw in Devon. It's a Liskeard (cornwall) phone number.

I saw it Phil. And I figured the same as you figured, same car.

He's not asking much for a '91 car, is he?

He must have paid the dealership heavy money for the car. It has a lot of spec. I wonder if it is a CXD?

Is that only 9 miles away from your folks? Maybe you could call to have a look?

Joe

It's about 30 miles from my folks. If it's still on sale next time I visit then I may well take a look. At that price I don't think it's going to sell in a hurry (maybe he doesn't really want to sell it)

Maybe. His wife probably said "Get rid of that silly car dear, we don't need a car that drinks petrol", and he said "I'll do my best, dear, I will advertise on Autotrader, see if we get an offer"

Phil, how long is Neil Simpson Automobiles advertising that black car now? 2 years? More? Remember it used to be £6,500 or something silly?

I guess they must not want to sell either.
