I spare you the usual keitrucks and uninteresting cars to focus on the kind of cool stuff... how about starting with a hearse? :)

Toyota Crown Wagon that spent its entire life as a hearse in Gifu prefecture. 1JZ powered too and honestly, it moves! With manual swap I’d really love to daily that thing haha

Then we got the first generation of fuel injected Mini! 1300cc, slightly tuned and a BEAST! The fastest Mini I’ve driven for now. Sadly no Mount Rokko test drive, for now at least, as I destroyed my back missing a step going down the stairs in the middle of the night to feed my noisy cat. Yeeeaaaah! It hurts.... a lot.

And finally since everyone likes keivans (I think... right?), here is a Subaru Sambar Dias. Automatic with a CVT transmisison... Ok that sucks a little but hey, it’s cheap so...

All are probably already sold (well, not sure about he Mini yet), but I wouldn’t mind keeping the Crown and the Mini a bit longer :)

I like the French mannerisms of saying “hop, tack, etc” while doing things, makes me miss my family in Switzerland, they also do that.

Haha yes, while getting the key for the Cressida and turning it on or turning on the A/C for example.

There will be other which I will happily trade you for $4900$, shipping ot wherever you are included :D (well, since this one was a hearse and since japanese are freaking superstitious, I might have bought it for a lot cheaper than I should have haha)

Dat hearse tho !

Dumb ass question, how can someone calculate the price of shipping a car from Japan to western Europe ? (Belgium-northern France for exemple).

Can’t say I could afford to import anything right now, but, when I eventually give in my japanese quirks, it’s super cool to know I have an Oppo contact in Japan and who speaks French !

And I love videos of your finds. How much cars to you get to buy on a regular basis ?

You’re welcome! Was beginning to wonder where you were as it’d been awhile since a new video!

More importantly, how is the Lancia? :O

Hey!

I usually advertise prices for the cars I sell as “landed” cost... So the car + the shipping to roughly any port in the world... import, taxes, port fees at destination..e.tc all that is extra for the seller to pay. Prices are very similar between Tacoma, Baltimore, Rotterdam or Southampton, so in order not to deal with “how much is shipping to xxx?” kind of quesitons all the time, I sell the cars with shipping included. Usually shipping for a keicar is around 600$, for a Skyline , 850$ or so... For the hearse, maybe 900... it is quite big afterall...

Let me know whenever you want something I can surely help :)

Et en français si tu veux! haha
