Still not here yet, but my exporter sent me some pics, I don't get excited about much, but after months of trying to scout out the right one, I finally found her, she'll be right at home in Victoria among many others. I'm thinking a trip to Renfrew will need to be a maiden voyage, anybody in?

That is a funky looking pattern on those seats. I can't recall seeing another Delica what that seat pattern before. Very nice looking ride you're getting there!

thanks guys, as far as the seats go, I've never seen 'em either, kinda reminds me of airplane seats, either that or a 92 camry, haha. I love the black and silver too! the only thing that worries me is that I work at a detail shop, and I know what I'm going to do to her, she's going to get a bath more often than I do!

also, I've been excitedly rifling through the maintenance posts, so far I plan to flush and change the diff, T/C and engine oil, as well as the coolant, because I assume she sat for lengthy periods of time due to the km, any other suggestions about maintenance would be great!

From the looks of it you have a 1994 deli there. It's definitely the almost exact twin of ours, including the black on silver and the seat fabric - exact same. That's my first reason why I think it's a 94 like ours. I couldn't quite see if there was a throttle control or not - if there isn't, it's definitely a 94 (manufactured in 1993).

Nice.

throttle control eh? I'll keep my eyes open when it gets here, the only thing out of place I can see so far from these pics is that there appears to be a turbo timer where the driver's right shin would be, or at least that's my best guess due to the lack of mods would be that if it is, it was sold as a dealer option or something.

I suspect you have a conflict of interest in that statement... :-D

Blue/silver > Black/silver

thanks Mardy, I can't find the vin on my auction sheet, I know where to look and it's on others I have, maybe I'm blind, check out the auction sheet...

Your VIN is P35W-0402925 - in the upper left corner of the auction sheet.

Yup, a new model. I don't see the hand throttle either.

17k km's.

I'd recommend to have Mardy give it a full going over (mounts/grommets/bushings/seals,etc..) for the components that break down after sitting (not in use) for a long time.

Can happen with very low km JDM's coming over.

Looks nice. :M

Better budget for a radiator too, especially with low KM.
