i bought an sti8 from a subaru dealer in cyprus who told me that it was a jap import. since bringing it to the uk it has been rejected for both an sva and esva due to the car originally being registered in dubai and not japan as told by the dealer. can anyone help with any info as the car has been in the uk for about 5 months just sat at the sva test centre and i miss it, many thanks 3scoobs
