It's interesting sometimes to watch the speculation and guesswork and see what people come up with. I've seen this car in the metal and it's something of an enigma. There are UK spec touches all over the car, but the chassis number is of the Japanese format (UK chassis numbers are much longer) and the engine doesn't appear to have been transplanted. If it has, someone has made a damn fine job of it (and forgotten the Rogue Systems sticker :wink: )! It does appear to be a genuine factory JDM sunroof model!

Since I've viewed the car in a professional capacity I don't think it's appropriate to pass any kind of opinion on the quality of the repair work without the owner's consent.

I would strongly advise an independant inspection before purchasing.

I'd be more concerned with the "SLIGHT FRONT ACCIDENT" than anything else. IMO the front is a pretty sensitive area, my 90 GT had been knocked in the front and "PROFESSIONALY" repaired but I could NEVER get rid of the slight shudder over 100 kph :( Same with a friends 1992 model, prang in the front and an un-removable shudder over 100 kph.
