Dyfed,
This is definitely an import from Japan; Japanese nearside wing mirror, rear
mounted spare, one piece 3rd row windows, aftermarket rear foglight etc.
Check what the dealer means when he claims 'one owner' - he probably means
one owner since import. Do not believe the myth that all imports from Japan
have genuine mileages (many don't) and have been well looked after, a good
number of imports have seen no maintenance for up to two years prior to
import due to the vagaries of the Japanese MOT test system. This isn't to
say they are all bad - just treat any vehicle UK or import with the same
scepticism if mileage claims aren't backed up by a watertight history. The
price doesn't look too bad, but do get it inspected unless you know exactly
what you're looking at...
Best of luck.
