aahh... i see it. hmm...... low feedback plus the pic is from a japanese car garage (!!)

buy it. wait until 2009 and then you wont need model report!

I would buy it OLI, if i could use it in the UK :D

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:

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.

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.

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..

Sean

Can it be done this way ? i thought you still had to reg it in the UK ?

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
