JVS rule!!!!!!! I bought mine there. Cant speak highly enough for Andy and Pete. They have just moved to an even bigger place and they can source brill cars at good prices.

Oh btw wouldnt go near calder....they charge too much for crappy cars too

I bought from Mackay Trading,no problems with the car(STi 1).I wouldn't trust them for servicing etc................but they sell good quality cars........so check them out.I suggest that you take a look and see if they've anything that catches your eye.
I would personally avoid Calders as there are a few stories floating about that aren't too flattering.JVS seem to get a good rep......so check out JVS and Mackays.
Best of luck.

Talking JVS all the way!!

alright mate,

i bought my RX7 from JVS, they are def the best importers around. i searched high and low for a good RX at the time and went round various places, Calder, McKays etc etc.

give Andy/Pete a call at JVS, you wont be disappointed. if you want Andy's email address gimme a shout.

i will be taking a trek over soon so chat about getting me something a bit quicker
