What's a Pajero iOS ?
The Pajero's we're being imported by the hundreds about 10 years ago now.We specialised in the Skyline and RX7 and the odd Estima.We imported 10 Honda SMX's in the hope they would be popular,took us about 3 years to get rid of them,lol.All the Skyline's have pretty much gone now,got a Nissan Cube on the way,always wanted a Delica Spacegear the 4x4 MPV but they are not exactly fuel efficient

The 660 with the turbo isn't all that different than the NA 1.3. The 660 is also very popular because of cheap road tax, easier registration and plenty of spare parts. I have two kei vehicles and both are pretty zippy on and off road.

Yes silly me. :blush: The problem is that even the small cars can take a hammering from the tax point of view.Guydudebro wrote: Sorry Helijohn. I'm in Japan and I was referring to the tax here... so I haven't a clue what it would be in the UK.
