when the car is over 10 years old you wont need the model report only an sva and mot - you'll be laughing... only 4 years............unless they change the rules again!

I'm loving that front lip :)

Skirts and rear valance seem to be a bit chunky though.

If you wanted it in the UK now you'd have to put the cats back in (Meow :hehe: ) That's gonna cost a few quid on top of the purchase price.

Then add the SVA test and the registration documents and the time it all takes.

Would be a nice car but a right pain in the arris !

Problem is that you cannot get a Model Report for a manual Tezza RS200 (assuming it is not an AS200), so you cannot get it registered. Some one may make an expensive mistake :crybaby:
Mr Singh
Bit of a silly way to ad a car imo.

it won't pass sva test at all.

still, if its had internals done, theres a 300-320bhp beast there.

Hi all, I have seen this car back in 2003 when I was looking to import an altezza, The car still in Japan, the dealer is king-buyer. The dealer mainly sells supras and heavily modified Japanese cars. (I heard bad reviews about this dealer).

For more info about the car and photos go.
[url="http://www.king-buyer.co.jp/"]http://www.king-buyer.co.jp/[/url]

on top left click on Toyota GT
Click on page No 9 to see the list of the cars
It’s the fifth advert with description.

Stay away from this car and ebay seller, you been told :ohmy:


the dealer got some nice altezzas and aristos, check them out :D
Mr Singh
You can't import that Altezza.

it won't pass emissions during SVA test. there alot more cruder than MOT testers. You would have to put it to std. and even then theres no report for a 6spd M/T

Forget it, it won't happen.
Gord
He says that the car is in the UK :ph34r: Ive sent him email asking him if i can see the car :o and to SVA it and i will have it :lol: :lol:

Hi all,
if any of ye are interested in an altezza an option could be to import it to Ireland and get it registered here. Then re-register it in England. It MIGHT be a way of avoiding the test..

Nice looking motor though..

I dont know but i have heard of people from Ireland bringing cars into England and registering,insuring and taxing them on English addresses. After 6 months the car can be imported into Ireland and plates changed over to Irish ones for free. I would have saved myself €10k but i just didnt want the whole 6 month waiting thing. Id do it if i was importing a car like a sl350 merc.
There has to be a loop hole. Are the tests only done on japanese inported cars?. We can import a car that could set off alarms here and nothing said.

I'll check it out..
Sean (the tax dodger) :D

liking the spoiler :)

this is the one that has been all over the place (abbey motor sports etc) and no one can get the emisions legal (hence the fail)

They contacted me for a IS200 engine to fit to get it thru............didnt want to pay for it tho

stodwyer
There are some amount of nice modified altezzas in the www.king-buyer.co.jp website. Id be wary in dealing with him though. The prices are a bit ott too....

Does anyone know where the front splitter came from? :huh:
Monster-Mat
Its a TOMS front spliter, its the OEM TOMS splitter as fitted to the 280T
stodwyer
Does anyone know if the car is in England or is it still in Japan. Also who knows about this King Buyer?. Have they a good reputation?. I wouldnt mind the car. Id change the boot spoiler to the one i have now though. Everything else is lovely. Maybe a set of 18" multi spoke alloys..
