Senn Sports at Leicester seem to have a few nice cars in. Might be worth a search to look for reports on them. They have a few cars on Pistonheads at the moment.

Litchfield Imports may be able to help, although they import the newer stuff generally?

Do NOT use DKU his cars are overpriced and generally not very good condition in my experience and when I went last he was absolutely stoned in his office.

Another one to avoid is merry hill car centre his cars are always low grade Imports and he is an arrogant Tw@t

No problem I went there looking for an MR2 Turbo last year and he had no interest in what I wanted only what he thought I should have, which at the Time was a very rough looking R33 gts with two different seats in the front and a big hole in the dash where the cd player used to be. And the only Impreza he had was lowered so much I couldn't get the end of my trainer under it and had very suspicious panel gap variations.

No problem it's pointless more than one of us making a wasted trip and surely the reason he asked was to find out both good and bad

He was stoned in his office? That sounds like the ideal sketch for Frankie Boyle's 'Tramadol Nights', a stoned car dealer specialising in Jap stuff

ive dealt with albert at car planet in warrington and raef at SVA imports in the last twelve months and cant fault either car i got from them or their knowledge of cars. both cars were spotless sti5 wagons with low mileage and in relatively stock condition. They fitted all the bits i wanted too.
I should have paid extra for skid training and maybe id still have the one i got from SVA!!
