Default Plate not registered on RAC.......

Just spotted this on ebay and went to do a check and it came up not registered. Is this is a foreign plate? I think the seller is Polish but the car looks UK (right hand drive). Thanks

Deffo not a uk plate.. does look Polish! It's got a facelift bonnet, headlights and grille if it's a 96 model.. that's a 98 spec front end (99 onwards spec had crystal headlights) so check for front end damage!


And it's a Jap Import if you didn;t know allready.

quality photos

it's definitely in the uk, you can tell from the houses and the streets

maybe bought in uk or japan by a foreigner and registered in their country to avoid speed camera fines, parking tickets etc. not unkown

if it's not stolen, and i guess you'd have a hard job proving that it's not (although it may not be), then not a problem to register it here

got mine a lot cheaper than that though

I think the photos are in the UK.. You can see a Vauxhall Signum on the drive with what appears to be a UK plate, if you then go into his "other items for sale" you then see he is also selling a 53 Plate Vauxhall Signum.

You can get WRX's for peanuts nowadays.. juts get a UK Reg one

It has a turbo taimer on it - is that like a lion taimer, where it comes with a guy under the bonnet constantly keeping the turbo tame, so that it doesnt boost much?
