Supra Twin Turbo 97 - 01: Coming to UK!

DShox · 03-23-2005, 11:02 PM

Hello there,

OK so the title is a little optimistic but just in case you weren't aware, the current ESVA rules require a Model Report to exist for the Japanese Supra Twin Turbo with model years 97 - 01 before a person can import one to the UK. Seen as the Report doesn't exist, people in the UK are denied the opportunity to drive the newer models as they are not allowed past the SVA testing stage (i.e. so you can't register the car, insure it, and then drive it away!).

Basically, nobody wants to take the risk of shelling out all the time and the thousands necessary to produce a Model Report, as there is no guarantee of success even having made the investment. That's where I come in...I'd like to know whether or not people would actually like to own the revised and newer forms of the twin turbo VVTi from 97 to 01 - if so, I'll carry on and finalise the testing plans and get the report produced (if the authorities let me that is!).

Ta much,

D
