As in English or European DM?

I've probably got the wrong end of the stick, but the UKDM models are available in other countries apart from England (i.e. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and the UK models are not available in the rest of the Europe.

Or did you mean something else?

I meant European. I haven't heard of UKDM. I know there are versions of Evos in UK not available anywhere else, but i didn't realize they are called UKDM.

Well, I've seen them called UKDM, but to be fair all official UK cars are just JDM versions with bits bolted on, apart from the dreaded Evo VIII 260 (which I believe is a hybrid of the JDM Evo 7 and 8 with some USDM parts and some unique parts).

To be honest I don't know which base model the continental Evos are, but I presume it's JDM?
