ANd thats all from http://www.english.auto.vl.ru

From what I could glean from my own investigations - AYC/traction not standard on manuals. Type S higher spec'd than V.

[jeff]

Hmmm Keighley. Not the most enthusiastic sellers of vehicles, I believe a couple of people on here have got VR4's from them, but I think the general consensus is that they are not the best people to deal with. Just ring and enquire about a car, just for fun, and believe me it will only take about 20 seconds before you want to put the phone down again.... :toilet:

Type S gets my vote. :-D

[Nick Mann]

Also check out the links under the resources tab at the top of the screen.

[Vector]

cheers guys
bern your a star
and yes jeff i have spoke to keighley.........no comment
so basically the type S is a bit more in height width weight and fuel consumption but better than V

[KiwiTT]

The S has ASC and AYC, only some Vs have AYC

[Zeke]

Vector, I was close to getting a VR4 from this place in Japan, days ago they had a black Type V 2001 for sale; but it was sold and replaced with this 1999 Type V for $9500 USD:
http://www.j-garage.com/sale/usedcars/stock/107882.html

Import to UK details here:
http://www.j-garage.com/imports.htm

You can contact them to get one to your specs if interested also.
I highly recommend this company.

[bernmc]

There's no model report for post 96 cars, so you can's ESVA the above car... unless you pay for the extra testing (search for 'model report').

Then:
Important to establish whether the $9500 is the FOB price. Then add around £650 for shipping and shipping agent, 10% import duty on the FOB price + shipping, 17.5% +£30 VAT admin fee; Around £550 for prep and SVA (if you get someone to do it) + around £100 for MOT and 1st registration. Road tax. Add Thatcham 1 alarm, + transport to/from SVA station... although I have a trailer, and one of the other members has a transporter. Somewhere around £8000-8500 on the road. Before the model report or emissions/noise tests.


NIce cars 4 sale on this board though... :)

[Zeke]

Definately, the Silvia Spec R on offer is a DREAM :)
