Default SVA Imports version 5 Type R

Sold my newage sti last year and need to get back into a scoob.

Always wanted a white Type R and SVA Imports seem to have clean looking examples.

Long way from home but travel is no problem for the right car.

anyone had experience with SVA or even better, been there recently and saw this car.

Got my sti 5 wagon from them last monday an its spotless. They fitted all the stage one type mods for me plus a few others that i asked for. Sourced second hand defis for me as well. Fitted an API oil pump when the timing belts were done.

Had to pay extra for underseal - £120 and Cat1 Toad ai606.

I travelled from glasgow by train on sunday and theres a premier in right next to the place.

Drove 500 miles home on V power an an octane booster. driving like a nun until Mr forrest works his magic on the 27th of this month!!

Id recommend them

The pics where taken when the light was crap and with a flash. Not really a good indication of any paint issues.

I got my v4 type r (which is what that is) from them about 2 years ago, absolutely blinding service, car was mint. I never even bothered going to see it, just got them to deliver it, all the way to Aberdeen.

Good times
