im looking to import a 22B my98 27km(20miles) in mint condition .which numbered 22b is, im not sure as yet .and most of all is there a model report .help appreciated.

 

What sort of help are you looking for?

 

There is no model report available for the 22B or for that matter any sti or sti type r/ra from 97 onwards.

 

Yeah your right mate! No model reports available for 2 door Scoobs after 97.

Although if you import it via Cyprus, thay will do the SVA test here as they have the model reports. Thats what I'm doing. Check in the back of Japanese Performance Magazine for their adverts.

 

no model report i thought so.
cyprus scoob let me know how you get on with importing the car to here via cyprus.

to be honest the 22b was going to be a long term investment.infact i might store it for 3yrs then register it ,then no model report would be required.ive just got a feeling the 22B will be worth a fortune in years to come and ive always wanted to own one.

 

There is a type UK for sale, just do a search in autotrader

Price: £24,995

Not sure if the guy who's selling it is on here? possably??

As I know Ive said before CyprusScooby; your car will count as a 'Personal Import' due to the length of time that youve owned it and the length of your residence abroad!. It will require a simple SVA test; not an E-SVA using a Model Report, an MOT and youre away. I dont expect you to take my word for it though; contact the DoT and request booklets SVA4 & P15 and itll all be confirmed.....

This only applies to people who can prove that theyve lived abroad for 12 months and owned and used the vehicle for 6 months.

Bet you wish that youd bought a 22B now eh...?

a bloke on 22b.com is selling it

Glenn at Revolution is a previous owner too

 

thanks for the info tony,

this guy wants £15,000k in japan but im knocking him down to £13k and he has not said no either i cant see me buying it now unless theres a hassle free model report im afraid.ive been scratching my head all day on the matter.

 

Is on eBay as well .... sounds very like one that was in a Subaru dealer a few months back (im sure it was the same reg. no.) .... they wanted £27-28K for it and had it for a while! .... why is he selling it so soon??

 

Its my 22b. Ive had it 6 months. Selling because of a massive hike in mileage (its a daily drive) so need reliable mile muncher and going to get an RA v limited or something to mess about in. Robinsons in Rochdale had it for sale.
