Title: Japan imports
Post by: coltom on 19 May, 2009, 12:38:48 PM
Hi

Does anyone have experience of importing a Lancia from Japan? I've found what appears to be a relatively unmolested standard integrale Evo2 at a dealers in Toyama on the Northern coast at a fair price even considering the current exchange rate. I know a couple of integrale enthusiasts who have imported integrales from Japan but these are usually from the auction houses. As this car is at a dealers I really need to find an enthusiast out there who would be willing to contact the dealer and perhaps even view the car. Does the club have any contacts with the Lancia Club of Japan?

Don't know any club members but I am still in touch with the garage owner in Tokyo who imported my Thema 3.0 LX some years ago. He does a lot of servicing of Lancias, Ferraris, Maseraits etc over there. I could email him if you like to see if he could help, or knows of a good car available.

Hi Lindsay

Did you have the car 'inspected' beforehand and how was the importing process organized?
