Hi and thanks for such a full and prompt reply.
Although I'm 'Just Looking' I have, within the last six months bought a JDM 175 Vehicross and very happy I'm with it. More then any other car I've owned this one get me all fired up. It is truely a bit of design and automotive history (the Dakar rally has given its name teeth). I just love it. But based in Manchester in the UK there are relatively few VX in the Country. I've met and chatted to a few but I estimate there are only about forty in the country (about 20 have been up for sale in the past 6 months) but I haven't yet see another 174 edition. The biggest problem is parts although many parts can be sauced from 98 Troopers, Isuzu dealer don't like to even mention the vehicross (saying that they will order parts from Japan/Sweden). But the biggest problem other than its mpg is the almost custom bits like the dash, the interior and the panels (skin). It was a purchase of the heart with (at the moment) no regrets.
