hi - yep... importing is not a problem as that's how I found the R34 - but thought I'd ask anyway.

yes, I realise there are only a few in the UK, but I only want 1!
Have also considered a P1, RB320 & RB5 - but as these have been in the UK for a long time - cannot find a really good one.
Would consider any of these if in top condition.

Type R/RA would be a far better option than those listed

I think you'll need to up your budget considerably for a 22B !

Yeah, below 30k registered etc.
Wouldn't be a bad price for a rare car if it was free of problems etc.

yes, you are correct,
I have not found any RA-R's in the UK for sale so far - but as time goes by, the 22B is gaining my interest - they're great IMO

I've just sold the real thing and that's going the opposite way to Japan , the guy who bought my WRC car has a 22B and wanted to do a deal , but wanted £100k for his !
I don't value a 22B anywhere near this
