Default CAR IMPORTER RECOMENDATIONS PLEASE...

For those of you who have purchased import cars, could you tell me who you bought from and what the service and selection was like?
I'm doing some research for a company, who have asked me to find some reputable importers for 3 corporate track cars that they have been asked to build.
They are looking for Early Scoob RA's and Evo's 1-4
Your help is much appreciated.

Default Jap Performance uk

Hiya Mate,

I bought my scoob from Jap Performance UK in Bradford.

There are a lot trash traders around especially with Imports, but i found this place more comfortable to part with my cash.

oh there website: www.japperformanceuk.co.uk

I bought my Spec C from Litchfield Imports.

You'll struggle to find decent CD9A/CE9A Evolutions; Grade3.5s are probably the best you'll see. Most cars are repair history grades; Grade4 cars are like rocking horse ****e. A & B Series Impreza Type-RAs are virtually as difficult.....

Further to that; I say that youll struggle to find an importer who is keen to take your commission. The reason is simply that theres a massive amount of work involved, to find three decent cars of this type. You could spend hours every night (well for the two nights before the best auction days for these cars) looking through hundreds of auction listings; and you might have to do this for weeks on end. If course; itd be relatively easy to buy three ****e cars quite quickly.....
