1. Unique

4. Great traction
5. Targa!
6. Sleek lines and low roof-line

Well it was sold to me on the basis it was a 12/89 build, and able to be imported pretty much straight away under the 15yr rule. Bought in 11/04 and got import approval 12/04, car arrived 01/05.
EDIT: from what I can work out from the Jap de reg document, first registered in 1 12, which should translate to 12/89 I think.
