Ok so looks like my previous type r has sold so in the market for another.. Here is what I'm after...

Type R v5/6 pref, may think about a v3/4 ....

in sonic blue may consider black.

Must be in great condition, no rot anywhere .. Engine history

Don mind mildly modded such as gauges .. Intake ... Exhaust system ... But not really looking at fmic and major mods

I will leave it there for now car will be inspected prior to buying cash waiting for the right example

Please pm me with what u have

Thats nothing to get a decent car though. Sell those on for 50 quid and but a mint set for an extra £100 or so, sorted.

The more I look at it the more I want it... hmm, how many miles is Bedford from Newcastle

There are 2 at hurst 1 blue with a Api engine but cannot afford the almost £8000 asking price.

And second the black 1 ... Both lovely looking examples

But the black 1 been a fresh import ... Is there mods u have to make such as will the clocks be mph etc I'm abit unsure

Also not sure but it has a alarm system on there but surly that would need to be changed for a Thatchem approved model

Many importers sort converting the speedo from KPH to MPH, but seeing as the advert says its still in KPH, I assume he wont be changing.

It is very simply procedure to change it though, you'll be able to pick up a speedo converter for 20-30 quid and its just plug and play stuff into the back of the speedo, then the readings will be in MPH and the odometer will increase by miles and not kilometres.

Again, I wouldnt class that as something to put you off.

With regards to it being a fresh import, body work SHOULD be better than most examples that have been in the UK longer... all you want to be wary of is service history.

... and the alarm, you'll be able to insure it without it having a Thatchem approved model but again, you get a decent one supplied and fitted for a couple hundred if required

One is JDM and one is UK, standard styling is different and the Type R will have forged internals and a few other STI additions
