Yellow SVX for sale!!!
I cannot believe it but there is a yellow SVX for sale here in Sydney!!!
It is a 1995 and has 17,000km on it - the dealer (they have had a few SVX's and their service manager is quite a fan of them) wants $45,000 - the ad says that it is one of only two in that colour that made it to Australia - it does not have rego plates so I don't know if it is the same car that was in the magazine review that is on my site. I went and had a look at it last night (12.30am!!)...and, em.......the yellow looks heaps different in the flesh, almost a lemony yellow rather than deep rich yellow and is very similar to the yellow they have on the EVO spec WRX's that were released here last year. On the issue of WRX's, I went on a trackday and belted around a race track in a WRX, a Holden SS Commodore and also my trusty steed, a 4cyl automatic Camry -- WRX held through the corners, the Commodore just had so much grunt it was not funny, and powerslided out of every corner....as for my car, well, I had a hoot: massive understeer, all over the place but I drove it like a maniac and had the best time....soon, Mr SVX will show them the power of the Alycone!!! Jamsvx PS: I'll scan the ad in!

Yellow, my favorite SVX colour (except maybe for dayglo orange). Too bad it's down under though. But it does sound like it's a bit on the pale side.

Dunne searchin!

Are you going to buy? Price seems steep, but Kms really low. Might be worth it. Strange you mention about the colour. I have John's CD with loads of SVX pictures. There are only 4 yellows, leads me to suspect this was not an option offered in the States. But, one of these pictures is a pretty strange lemony colour. The other three are the nice warm buttery colour I like. Is it possible there were two yellow colours? BTW, one of the pics is the same car as on the UK Yahoo site. It may belong to groundeffectltd, the founder, but I am not sure. It has a strange effect, like garlic on vampires. Randy has not visited the site since the car was posted. Joe

Code yellow
James
Check post 198 on UK Yahoo. It has the paint code for the UK yellow colour. You may be able to compare with the code listed on the car at the dealers. If it is a different code, and the colour is original, then 2 yellows exist. BTW, my other car, a Matra Murena, also comes in a lemony yellow, which is kinda weird up close. You get to like it, but I refer to it as pi$$ yellow. Joe

I've actually been back to the UK site several times, but, they don't seem to need my help anymore. Their numbers have grown and they seem to be getting by "swimmingly."

As for the price, I think you could get it for $40,000.......however, by way of comparison, that is the price of a brand new WRX. I will contact them and see if they will give me the colour code....I am curious too to see if the shade of yellow varied from market to market Jamsvx PS: the 'Dunne Searchin' is hilarious!!!!

You should know me better than that. I knew the yeller peril wouldn't be enough to keep you away, I merely said it for provocation. But I expected you to come back fightin, not defendin. As an aside, there is very little traffic on the UK site these days. I stopped Yahooing myself because the Message 40 thing was giving me Alzheimers deja vu. Also, I did a lot of posting there with no responses, so watching it became boring. Joe

As for imported SVX's from Japan into Australia, our import laws say that unless it is brought in as a personal import (I would have to live in, and owned, an SVX in Japan for 12 months), it cannot be brought in since not enough years have passed since the model was officially on sale here (ending 1997). In addition, it would actually cost about the same as an Australian delivered one by the time shipping, tax, compliance (have to change the seatbelts, odometer, fluids, wheels, side intrusion bars - there is a whole list of mandatory items to change) plus - we already have problems with high performance JDM engines since they are designed to run on a higher RON fuel than we have. -lack of a service/owner history -its bad enough finding any of the original SVX mechanics, let alone those who could/would work on a JDM spec SVX. I'll find one eventually--- I've waited long enough so far and in the interim, I can make millionaires out of the sellers on Ebay!!! James

Aussie rules Euro rules
Quote:
I did misunderstand, I thought you were homeward bound when your contract expired. Interesting the number of mandatory changes you list here. No doubt they are demanded on safety grounds. No doubt also the real reason for the demand is to stifle the trade of imports from Japan, so enough demands are made to make it un-economic. You would be familiar with our Vehicle Registration Tax[VRT] here, the stated aim of which is to bring the cost of second-hand imports up to the price of the locally available ones. I am so incensed at the anti-competitive nature of this tax, I voted against the EU Nice treaty in the last election. This is the first and only time I have ever voted against a Euro issue. We were promised a boundary free Europe, tax harmonisation, an integrated market. PAH! My reason for voting anti-Nice would be seen as spurious and irrelevalent to a Euro politician, so be it. There is nothing so vaporous as a political promise, either on a European or a local political stage. My view, if they can't be trusted to deliver something so simple as individual freedom to purchase within Europe, how can we trust them on the militarisation issue, who will protect the Eastern Europeans against globalisation, how can we believe our sovereignty is sacred? No, we are building a Corporate Europe here for the benefit of big business, and tended by a new elite of mandarins in Brussels, who are arrogant enough to believe we should have voted yes because they told us to. We have a history in Ireland of fighting imperialism for centuries, strange the Brussels bureaucrats still underestimate what makes us tick. Joe
