Spoke to the guy, it's covered 25k miles, he thinks it does not have to be registered as a spec c as it was a personal import and he has kept it for a certain length of time which makes him exempt
Car sounds fine but not registered correctly so if there was a smash insurance may not pay up.. Only had one service between 10k and 20k too.

Mine is registerd as a GL
excellent for road tax purposes for now, (I'm with keith Micheals so no problem with insurancethey know what it is) not sure what some of the other lads have theirs as?Did you ask him about the map and stuff? Also who has been looking after it and how? If it starts to tick all the boxes why not eh?

My old one was registered as a WRX STI Spec C and you can quite happily run them on 99 ron fuel in the uk without them dying a death, the ECU adapts happily by lowering the power to compensate 
mine did 22k miles without issues

I dont think it matters too much what it says on the log book, as long as it is correctly SVA'd & V5 is in order & most importantly insured correctly as a Spec C.
Also is that 25k miles i.e. 50k kms or 25k kms & then clock adjusted to read in miles?
10k miles between service is too much but if its in kms then may be ok?
Ideally better if its been mapped for UK fuel as its a bit of a risk running a Jap map. There have been the odd Jap map engine meltdowns!

don't think i'd pay big money for a car that wasn't reg'ed correctly.my ra is only a gl on the tax book but i only paid 4k for it. as for this guys price if he's bought it himself new in japan maybe it's not standing him as much as say for talk's sake a litchfield car.hence it can move it on that bit cheaper
