Due an update here....
I got offered my Red Ph1 back and I couldn't say no!
Red Evo 8 added to the stable
Work wheels in Clio V6 fitment and specs. For next driving season.
Some rare 18" Advan Super Racing V2's with Cusco coilovers on the white wagon.
Its good fun researching all the different models - couldn't resist these two! Got some Cusco coilovers and 18" Advan tri-spoke wheels waiting to be installed on the white one :)
@jp_lcr dipping your toes into the JDM auction pond at a very expensive time!
I can't help you out with UK importers but pick someone that has good communication and has lots of experience. Even some of the best looking auction sheets have red flags which can easily be missed.
Best of luck!
Been in Canada about 5.5 years now - Moved for a better more relaxed lifestyle - Winters are a little nippy but I dont mind that, we get a nice summer and winter contrast!
V6 does turn some heads but to be honest the Mazda Rx7 get the most attention when I am out and about.
Mark has/had some great cars there are some absolute crackers out of the auctions in Japan.

There have been a few road trips to BC over the years it is a beautiful part of the world!
All RHD's from Japan are Selespeed, the LHD's are manual. That is probably why you have only see the selespeed.
@Hot Hatch Hunter
I see you sold this in Jan/Feb, 2020 - thanks @FatRS
Was the underside super clean, minimal to no rust?
Chance you have any photos of the underside?
I didn't even dig that far into the conversation.
I imagine its this is where some of the 3.5k went?
NEW RENAULT TIMING/AUX BELT KIT, DEPHASER, WATER PUMP & COOLANT,
NEW RENAULT ENGINE SEALS & GASKETS,
NEW NGK R PLATINUM SPARK PLUGS,
NEW SHELL HELIX ULTRA 5W 40 FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL & RENAULT...
I engaged the seller, as i'm in the market for a clean RB.
There isn't much movement on the price. So I didn't chase it any further.
As said, very much on the high side but someone might come along and take it.
The exhaust has arrived in Canada. Looks like it was test fitted and had one heat cycle through it. Like new condition and the welds look amazing. I'm delighted!
It’s a strange thing, but many of the performance European cars were sold as LHD. As said above it’s an exotic tag for buyers, they want the cars as the Europeans have them. They also like the uniqueness of being different.

They have been importable for around 18 months-ish. I only know of a couple in eastern Canada, I’d be surprised if there were more than 5. Most of the Japanese auction 147 GTA’s go back to Europe.

They are all out of Auction in Japan
When a Megane R26R is legal I might get one from the UK so i'll hit you up for some shipping options when we get there!
We see quite a few land rover defenders coming into Canada, yes the prices are a little nuts! Demand is high for them.
