Thanks for the heads up!

I’ve seen the 50k mile example and although it’s definitely something I personally haven’t seen before the colour isn’t to my taste plus no carbon trim & the mounted telephone holder also isn’t something i like the look of (fussy I know) but it’s nice to see it’s had some major works done, someone will get a good car there at a reasonable price with the money spent on it from what the description states.

Just took a look at the Purple avant and wow that is rare, personally haven’t seen one in that colour. The off putting part on that one is not MOT since 2017 and in the description “needs to be recommissioned as a project” doesn’t fill me with much confidence took a look at the history on the MOT’s also and there’s a fair bit I can imagine will need addressing right away. At least the seller is saying it how it is

I’ve took a look into the JDM market also, some really clean, rare colour options available down that avenue but I have little to no expertise in the processes you’d need to go down that route. I do know it’s not cheap to get one here here and then having to address the obvious… KMph to MPH & coding other obvious bits. Generally seen as great examples from other forums I’ve read into but as I say I’m not clued up enough on that front and buying from another part of the world

I couldn’t agree more! Yeah I mean the first photo of the car filthy is quite something… first time for everything maybe if that’s how it’s been stored paired with its history available to view online says all you need to know…

Thanks for the heads up regarding the phone holder, done a little bit of digging myself and I gained similar knowledge to what you have stated which again I appreciate bud, nice to know people on this forum are of great help

I’ve seen the LHD imports which naturally wouldn’t be my choice for obvious reasons! I had a little look on a few well regarded Japanese car auction/dealership pages and the best two I found (from the same dealer) was a ibis white avant at 39k miles, full interior spec you’d expect to see, white trims/white backs to the wingbacks which look lovely! Has the sunroof and some other nice bits but it’s hard to fully determine the spec list on those sites. Priced at 37k GBP.

Also a Imola yellow 22k miles but that has a less desirable spec interior wise but still looks great! Priced at 41k GBP.
I done some research and along with the obvious fees of dealers/transport fees you’d be looking at 20% VAT on top so the price you’d end up paying would be considerably higher than advertised.

Not sure if you have also noticed a Daytona saloon on 17k miles one owner that’s been on autotrader for months now. Doesn’t have the wingbacks and priced at 40k so can see why it might be but surprised nobody has bought that as a collector perhaps Lowest like B7 I’ve seen in a long long time. Personally wouldn’t myself but very surprised to see such a low owner/mile B7 stay up for sale for that long.

Thanks for also keeping an eye out for me, appreciated!
