They are quite hard to price, but when a good one comes up for sale, it sells. I paid 7k for my fresh import. Another nice one sold recently which had been laid up for a while but had a sort of light restoration carried out, I think that was up for 6k and sold fairly quickly.

On the other end of the scale you could come across one with rusty arches and in need of a respray, these would probably only go for a couple of grand or less. I would argue you end up spending more in the long run with cars like this but each to their own and all that.

In regards to a UK red top, these obviously come up more often. You should be able to get a top example for 3 or 4k.

Have you a budget in mind? What civic have you got?

it is a 2012 honda civic, worth about 5,500, was that price after all the work carried out on your car , ie under sealed, mot, km to mph, derestricted, or was that extra.

That was including everything you mention above

thanks atr84, what mileage was yours, and would you recommend torque to deal with.

It was 81k miles. Had a genuine mugen manifold on as well and was a grade 4b, which is very good. I highly recommend Torque GT, have a chat with Darren at Torque GT

Another recommendation for Torque gt. However if you are importing one fresh the process can take 6 months minimum.
My import on my S660 from start to finish was 7 months.
Sometimes the have stock like Mikes Type S which was already in the country.

I also have a Type S but not a Type S.

Yes that is a good point regarding the time, Torque GT happened to get one in stock, they only buy stock cars if they come across something hard to pass up on. I was already in touch with Torque GT at the time about importing a DC5, but when I went to see the Type S in the flesh, it won me over.

thanks for the replies lads, ooh six months wait, xmas pressie to myself maybe, still haven't sold the civic yet thou, and what colours do honda do type s in.
