How to spot an import?
Hi guys, I'm sure this is an easy one to answer but there are so many threads on this forum I didn't find a clear answer....
Looking to buy an '05 STI. The owner is renowned for importing Jap vehicles so other than taking his word for it, what would I check for to identify it as a UK car. In particular are there VIN / chassis number references or other identifying things which can't easily be changed?
Thanks
