the 1.3L actually does refer to 2.6L... do a search on it, but I read some threads about the 1.3L refers to per rotor or something simple like that.

Otherwise the FD looks clean. Get a compression test and do a coolant pressure test (overnight if you can) to make sure the engine is healthy!

Read the FAQ section if you need help with this. $8500 is a good price. The euro is higher than the dollar right now, so that would be more like $11-12,000 euro

Looks gorgeous to me. Though, the engine is the devil. Get a compression test done and a coolant seal test. If they check then sign a check

8,500 is a great deal but maybe too good...

call up the seller and chat about it.

It's far from simple and the 13B is not 1.3L per rotor. It's 1.3L total. In Europe they rate it as a 2.6L so they can tax the holy hell out of it.

its a fresh import,
a lot of fds go for that price and even cheaper in uk, check the condition though..and since youre saying england. check the rust under the chassis.
find out how long its been in the uk and who did the rebuilt.

In uk they consider it 2.6 only for the insurance. When you import that car in the uk its considerred 1.3 (just for the tax)
