_Shane_ Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I have a guy talking to me at the moment about buying my Supra. He was asking if it was EU spec or J-spec? Is there an issue importing a j-spec into Norway does anyone know ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 From my understanding, yes. Many countries that way will only allow tem to register euro spec cars due to conformity issues, emissions etc. I don't think they can buy in J-Spec cars or any that have had auto-manual conversions as the VIN plate won't match the car spec. I could be wrong but I think it's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 was thinking something similar to what you said above mate Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 From what I understand that used to be the case but lately we have seen loads of Supra's going to Europe. I pretty sure it is much easier now than it used to be hence why it has shifted. Get them to find out by speaking to the local authority. From a quick search it seems you can bring it in for less than one year with no issues. Anything longer than that then it needs to pass the local test (assuming like an MOT) and that it needs to have all tax duty's paid. http://www.justlanded.com/english/Norway/Norway-Guide/Travel-Leisure/Importing-a-car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I know that some EU countries have more paperwork to do (and more taxes) with j-spec Supras Shane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradk Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Norway isn't part of EU and that's why he may have problems with the j-spec. Here in Denmark we haven't problems with that because we are a member of EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
