cusco kid Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Hey guys, been on holiday been busy and now starting to work on the new toy. My son and i were talking about buying a toy and we spoke to Stuart Chapman of S.C Imports who is a member of the sidc. We had a discussion about what kind of scooby we wanted and the spec and most importantly we did not want to break the bank after all we just wanted a toy. Stuart travelled through to Dunfermline to speak with us direct and off he went leaving us with everything we needed to know about bringing a car to the country,the cost and what we had to do with it when we got it. Stuart phoned the next night to say that he has seen a type RA sti version2 with 60k so he bidded and won it and best of all it was under budget leaving us spare money for the shipping cost. Two nights later i recieved an email containing 2 pictures of the car (see below) From this point stuarts relative who he employes out in japan inspected the car and took some more photos so we had a good idea of what you were buying he also checks the car mechanically and if its not in good condition then they reject the car. Stuart came to see us again to collect the purchase price of the car this gives you time to save for your shipping fee which cost roughly £900 and the car came right to my door, he also gave us more pics of the car (see below) From this point we had roughly a 7 week wait til the car came into the uk, stuart took care of everything he would give us a call every week or so to give us an update on the car,he also ordered the import pack and got it sent to me and also came through to give us the registration pack for the car. We paid for the car and done nothing from there as stuart took care of everything. The car arrived on time right to my door and was over the moon with the car. We have sponsership for the car and GMD automotive are going to town on it we have some other mods for the car but this will take time here are some pics of the car at present. From these next photos you can see how fresh cars from japan are! We are very happy with the car a MASSIVE thanks to stuart chapman from S.C imports who has earned his right of his name on our car!!! we will be buying off him again!!! Hope you enjoyed reading this post guys see you all soon Kev and G eo

sti pretender Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Was talking to Stewart last night about importing and mentioned your car sound like he got you a great motor. After seeing whats on offer for my budget in the UK importing is definately the way to go.
alank Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Stewart could be a very busy man these days as I was also speaking to him at the weekend. Just waiting to see whats on offer this week to give me an idea of what I can get a classic STI Wagon for
