Uk Equivalent Of Jap Import -6th Gen

[evaq1]

i have a jap import celica which in the jap market is a ss1 model, its 2.0L. So in uk what is the equivalent as i am trying to insure the car and they companies cannot find the car on their system. the details are:

Model number on VIN for Manual-------- E-ST202-BLMGK

ENGINE: 3S5-FE

FRAME: ST202-0086847

help anyone?????

Also know any insurance companies that do reasonable insurance for imports???

where can i get a bodykit from within uk for this car???

There isn't really a uk equivalent of that model.

The UK ST is a 7a-FE engine, 1.8.

The UK GT is a 3S-GE engine 2.0, 170bhp

And then there's the GT4...

Yours falls somwhere in between the ST and GT, with 138 bhp 2.0. It would be closest to the GT I guess.

try A plan for imports.

on my V5 it says celica coupe 2 litre and thats it...

I was under the impression that it was an import GT i had so i told tescos that. They gave me a VERY reasonable quote then :)

[LORD_ED]

if its an ss1 tell them that otherwise you wont be insured

[cookci]

do you really think they will know the difference between an SS1 and SS2? i doubt it because 99% of dealers have no idea either and advertise there cars as import GT's. Go with what it says on ur V5 imo... surely noone can dispute that

what does it say on your V5?

an assesor will look for any reason thty they shouldnt pay out,
