[QUOTE="Canarias, post: 9338800, member: 78849"... just because a vehicle comes from here doesn´t mean it will be in good condition, there are lots of dogs too. Mainland Spain suffers snow and ice in the winter and the cars in coastal regions suffer from sand and salt.[/QUOTE]
Thanks, sir. I overstated and oversimplified. My limited experience is based on a select data set - my experience and those reported by other buyers that imported or purchased from JDM Landcruisers (Chris and Greg). My 73 spent its life on an olive farm in Cordoba hill country - apparently as a mobile workshop, trailer tow rig, etc. It was dirty, smelly, modified and very poorly maintained, but I knew what I was getting and wanted a project, not a turn-key driver.
Yes, research is our friend. Kiss some frogs.
