• Nissan charging to find import spares prices 14 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Nissan dealers are now charging £25+VAT just to find price and delivery for parts for Jap imports. So if you've got one of these, do as I did, and give them a list of 10 (max) items to get your money's worth, even if you don't want the other items! Strange attitude, considering Toyota now have the capability to find parts for imports at the parts counter FOC.
• Imported Japanese motors 27 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  After watching Quentin Wilson with his programme of imported stolen Japanese 4by 4s I bet a few people are quaking in their boots. My neighbour has recently bought a Shogun which is an import ex Jap. He's an emotional type of fellow who is prone to bouts of depression and I keep expecting to hear a gunshot from next door if he watched it.

• MG RV8 - Researching the mileage of an imported classic car 24 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  The majority of the RV8's were built for the Japanese market.  Many have been re-imported back to the UK and I'm considering buying one from someone who has owned it for 17 years.  It was re-imported in 2000, he bought the car in 2004 and has an MOT certificate from the previous year, but he doesn't know whether the mileage stated included its time in Japan or just since it was re-imported (the KPH/Km speedo/odometer was replaced with a MPH/miles one).
