Ta, whats a BIMTA check? I'm guessing it is an officiaL confirmation that the mileage is as stated?

i had trouble finding a deacent one in scotland that wasnt too high in price and was in good nick so i ended up getting mine as a private sale from a fellow member of this site. the only dealer i know of up here is morrello cars in Beauly just outside Inverness but personally i wouldnt go near him as he lied to me about surfs bumped his prices up then was basically rude and didnt seem to want my cash so i took it elsewhere. My advice is to buy privatly on here or search scot adds and take someone with you who knows a bit bout surfs. Dealers know Sh!t about the cars and their prices are waaaaaay too high plus i found i that a lot of importers are stopping importing the older surfs so this may effect uk prices.

When I was looking around came across a firm called Mackay Trading in Edinburgh. Had a reasonable collection of Surfs and they only do imports. They also will service cars they sell.

I didn't go with them, found they were bit expensive and I also wanted a 1998/1999 model. They hadn't got anything that new.

Worth checking them out, here is their website info: http://www.mackaytrading.com

Have fun looking!
