About same value as rb320 but much much better and from a respected dealer as well

How come its much better ? do you know the RB320 hes looking at ? there not all standard so unless you know the current spec of each vehicle its presumptuous at best

I think the point he is making and its the same as been said on here before the japanese impreza is better than the a uk spec car. Its starts better and you cant go far wrong with a litchfield. Thats not to say RB320 isnt nice its just not in the same league as the litchfield.

My RB320 was even on Aviva drop down list. Last year £488 with mods declared.

I have never found much of a difference with any of my imports apart from the pajero which was expensive. 6 years ago with fewer imports around i had an imported evo VI and my younger brother an official uk evo VI, we both were paying the same on elephant
Even if the there was a big price difference in premium an RB320 is more than £245 a year to tax now than most JDM's.

I priced a 2nd hand Type-25 hawkeye up at £29500. That was nearly another 10 grand on top of the RB. Even though its a more solid engine(more powerful etc.. )I couldn't warrant the money. With the right mods the RB can be plenty enough for our roads anyway and Black will always look best IMO

I dont think thats the proper mileage it had 15k plus miles last year when the previous owner was selling it ,but the Cosworth motor on it blew and had to have a rebuild so I imagine the 6k miles to be on the new engine.

Just don't buy the RB320 from Church's that was a wasted 6 hour round trip.
Found out it's number 0000 a press release car, the one that was hammered by everyone from 0 miles on the clock. It's had at least 4 front end repairs / resprays and there is a 100+ picture thread on detailing world stating how they couldn't quite correct everything because the paint is now so thin (except for the front which has about 10 layers of paint).
Probably worth mentioning to that someone at some point who did one of the many front resprays didn't wipe it down first and lacquered over flies.
Shame as does look mint but after finding out the history decided to walk from it drove well though I'm sure it would of been fine but think the paint will fall off now if you go over 30mph.
