hob Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Ive looked through autotrader, and wondered how you could tell if the car was imported or not, is there something on the log book etc that says import? or some way of finding out other than the obvious bonnet scoop and headlights. cheers peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Look at the first letter of the model code on the VIN plate under the bonnet (e.g. E-JZA80-ALFQZ). E means Japanese market. Can't remember if the model code is on the V5, I don't think so though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
