T-sport Turbo Import?

[Little Pocket Rocket]

Hi All,

My girfriend needs a new car so she's going to take my T-sport, and I'm trying to source a T-sport Turbo on import.

Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get my hands on one?

Thanks,

TIm

auctions in japan are a good start.

Didnt someone say they are not available to import due to their not being an SVA test for a Vitz Turbo?

as far as i know, you can import them as it has exactly the same chassis and engine bar the turbo, so you could probably import one.

I think what they mean is that there's not a model report for the vehicle. That in itself does not exclude a vehicle from being "importable", it just means that the vehicle will have to go through a "proper" SVA test at a VOSA test centre. This takes time and - thus - expense. Whether you think its worth it depends on the vehicle and how keen the importer is to own it...

I have a 2002 1.5 Vitz RS which I purchased in the UK unregistered, bare in mind that to use a model report it has to be for the exact model being tested model, engine No, CC rating, ect ect, I had the car tested for noise and emmissions which is what needs to done for a model report, this is now on the DVLA web site, the total cost for the report was £2300 what you have to worry about is if the car does not pass either noise or the emmissions you still have to pay for the test, I was lucky as the vitz had only done 24000 kilometers with full jap sevice history, the people who carried out the tesing have told me they have had a number of Vitz models and all have failed the emmissions
