HI does anyone know is it posible to buy an FD3S newer than 10 years i.e 2000 plate as ive herd it is impossible.
You can import one, but you wont be able to register it for road use until its 10 years old as there is no model report to use for the ESVA test.

there are a few out there but they would have had to been sva tested before vosa decided to change the rules.
mine is a 1999 fd.
so i can import one and register it by getting it sva tested then. what is the diff between esva and sva
No you can\'t import an RX-7 that\'s less than ten years old and SVA it - it has to go through the ESVA, which means you\'ll need a model report that isn\'t available, hence no ESVA and thus no way to make it legal until it\'s ten years old.
get trade plates n you cn drive it about then, just needs an mot :)
or buy one that is allready on the road-thats the only ways or wait until 2009 to get a 99 spec.
