The auctions are way better way to go....here is the local site for the cdn dealers that can bring them in rightdrive.ca and terra2imports

Thx...I'd like to try and sit in one....hardly any in my area though...except for a homebuilt replica that's toyota powered. Guy is selling it for $9k I'm going to check it out anyways

I'm from Canada and the 15 year vintage rule applies to RHD imports unless one is readily available from the U.S. There is a definite price advantage to buying from Japan even if one were available from the U.S. and due to the onerous rules regarding vehicle maintenance in repair, the vehicles tend to be in excellent condition with low mileage. To answer your question, this will be a road only vehicle however. However, if the price is right, of course I would buy from the U.S. I suppose to start, in that 91-95 vintage, is there a roadster model that is preferred in the 3 marques? Which engine lends itself to durability, reliability and performance.

Hi, I've been a fan of the 7 since seeing them race at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. I've decided to invest in a Japanese Market car and have a RHD specialist dealer that I'm working with. I'm limited to importing a car that's at least 15 years old (94 or older). The choice in Japan in the 91-95 vintage are the Caterhams, Birkins and Westfields. Obviously, I will have my dealer do a full inspection prior to bidding on a car, but considering the age, I would like to avoid some dodgy issues...corrosion being one of them or engine failure. Some suggestions for models to look out for are appreciated. I'm familiar with the dealer sites for all 3 makes but am uninformed when it comes to aged vehicles. Thx
