There is a white spec c available for 7k. I think you should quit trying to import cars and make a profit on them mate tbh as there isn't a profit any more.

this isn't one that i am selling, this will be a keeper and the one i am selling is on Ebay not even put on here as last time i did some members threw there toys out and started calling me a trader.

i would be lying if i said i didn't import them to make a profit but it is so much fun driving different Sub's limited edition etc so don't really care as long as i break even and make others happy.

Very true as its easier to just barter someone down in this country ' when his lands he will have 30% extra to add to his original buying price for vat and duty then extra costs to make it UK road legal. Cheaper to get on in the UK

7k?! where is that one?
Mine will be going up for sale soon but its not going to be that cheap, plus its been in the UK all of its life, a low mileage one fetches around 10-11k.

Totally different cars, twin scroll is more responsive, virtually zero lag, closer 5th and 6th gear ratio's, you get a-dccd with the spec c, this didnt appear until 2005 on the UK range (with the exception of the wr1), quick rack steering, smaller fuel tank (50ltrs), the limited has central locking, electric windows, electric folding mirrors, a passenger sun visor, black interior, external temp gauge, rev (gear change) buzzer, and a few other bits.
Totally different to drive over a uk car of the same year.

There isn't a UK spec C but there will be plenty in the country and its still cheaper to buy one of those.
