I've wondered this myself, I guess there just aren't any commercial importers in the UK who 're currently doing this? I'm sure if you find a specialist Jap importer they might be able to find you one- for a price. Alternative is importing yourself, but I guess that has lots of uncertainties/risk associated. I for one wouldn't know where to start, but there have been a few posts on here explaining the process. _________________ 1992 L300 Exceed "Selma" |

Two things worth noting.
1. It is cheaper to ship cars across the Pacific, from Japan to the west coast of Canada and the US, than it is to the UK.
2. The Canadians and Americans are paying for more for them than folk over here are prepared to. _________________

Old Japanese vehicles in the UK struggle to gain classic status, and our second -hand market is more ageist than most. So while importers are happy to import later models which can command the higher prices that will hide our higher import costs, they won't take a risk on old L300s. But it is nice to know that if you want to find a nice clean one, there appears to still be plenty available in Japan, and I dare say you could find an importer who would seek you one out - for the right price. If I had the cash, I would invest in a pop-top. _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |
