What are you looking to pay, I have a 1996 SSR-G reccently in from Japan. Just had immobiliser fitted and speedo converted and fog light fitted but not SVAed/MOTed as yet. You can mail me if you like at info@japanicity.com.

Having been through the auction scenario recently myself Iwould question if it is really worth it. E bay is full of Surfs foir sale- never seen as many. I think given the current fuel price people are trying to get rid of them. It really is a buyers market at the moment and I'm sure you can get as good a bargin by buying a 'secondhand' one from either here or E-bay. I dont have one for sale -just making an observation really
