Yeah hold out for one here... They are around.

And I think the knocky aerial is quite common. Had it on a couple of mine.

What else was wring with it...the ABS light on and 4WS would come on after a few minutes drving. Replacement sensor?

Sorry fella, just saw it and thought you might be interested. Manual, clean, vtec, leather...But completely forgot about the jdm factor. Rolled eyes at myself.

Yeah it's been on Gumtree a while, the pictures have been changed to hide the mice infested leather.

Oh I see, typical. They annoy me when they do that. Same with the arches, try to angle it to cover up rust or just avoid in general. Can't see the point personally, whenever it's viewed people are obviously going to see it.

Well, I'm sure one will pop up soon. Actually been searching for ya every couple days!

I've decided to hold off until next year and then go straight for a type S... Wanted one forever so it's worth the wait.

I may have to import. Little change from £4000 for a 4th gen sounds crazy, but where else in the world will I find an immaculate, unmolested BB1 that looks like it just rolled off the production line.

I recently posted an S on here from Gumtree at 3295, if I see any more I'll post them up too.

Wow... Yeah that's pricey buy I get what you mean. It depends if its worth it to you though doesn't it? I know personally I'd pay loads for an immaculate type S. If it was really low mileage, showroom condition... Id pay thousands... Like 8 to 10 grand happily. In the past I've spent 14 grand on a poxy KIA Pro Ceed for God's sake :facepalm: :facepalm:
If its the car you want, which it clearly is, just do it mate. I'd do the same.

Oh in regards to that S you shared, if I had the cash now it would be mine lol. But gotta move and stuff first so mid next year will be a likely time for me to afford my Type S. :twisted:
