Default Left hand Scoob possible?

Hiya guys,
I was wondering, I would like to buy my first scoob (a MY05 STi or WRX, haven't decided yet) and I need it to be in left hand drive,as i spend half of my year in Greece. The prospects of driving a left hand drive in the UK are a lot brighter than those of driving a right hand drive in Crete, so left it has to be. Up to now, I thought I had to go over to Brussels or Munich to get one but I'm wondering would I get an importer over here to supply one? If so, what price difference am I looking at?

Thanks guys

Give Iain at Litchfield Imports a call on his mobile and tell him I sent you.

Thanks Andy, he was real helpful! Just what I needed... Looks like a US spec STi 05 is making its way to my parkingspace in 5-6 months...

Lucky barsteward!

Do check insurance - it can be a big issue, especially if you're of typical university age. Is that's OK then you're in for a treat

lol. I'm Greek, it'll go on my mother's insurance with me as 2nd driver and EU coverage, and it'll be darn cheaper than having it insured in her majesty's kingdom. But I wont get my dirty mitts on it till June...

You lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, LUCKY boy!

Get the seats swapped with a fat UK STi owner though (unless you're a lardy yourself!) - the US ones are not as supportive to skinnies as they have to take American 'butts' so the side bolsters slope more.
