Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Ok so I might get the ball rolling on this. I purchased a Deli L300 in Manchester a year ago for dirt. With the price of fuel and most brits driving new 50mpg cars, Sweet L300 and L400s are selling for around 4000-5000 cdn. A very unforgettable road trip of Europe in a Deli, turned into a job and nicelife here for now. However I hope to be back home to Canada soon down the road.... Does anyody know some brokerage and customs firms on the East Coast .... HALIFAX has the closest Ro Ro port

I am guessing that I would go through the same process as anyone bringing it over from Japan. Reading the post about importing from Australia there was mention about L300s having some mods. As far as I know, UK deli have a rear RED fog light installed.

Anyways maybe some from the UK Deli site might have some good ideas regarding shipping ect.

Check out www.autotrader.co.uk and search the Delica under "Cars" not vans.

Don't know about Delicas from the UK, but there is a fellow in the Lower Mainland who is importing VW Syncro vans from Germany. These are the 4WD versions of the Type II VW (the microbus, the van, the bread-box, whatever you call it). Seems the Syncro was only sold in NA for one or two years.

Syncros were available in NA from 1986 to 1991. USA had no 1988 model year for some reason.

I have brought two vans into Halifax via RO-RO from the UK. The process was pretty straightforward - if the van is clean and the paperwork in order, the import people seem to be pretty chill. PM me if you need more details.
