I see it was never popular around these places. They preferred the volkswagen T1/T2 and for some reason the opel van, that is almost everywhere (still).

And guess what else is still around… pretty rare sight for people in wet climates…

Ladies and Gentlemen…
May I present you the Archbishops Toyota.
Custom Licence plate, diamond cut wheels and special color.
(they are entitled to special plates here in Greece… because… lets not discuss this further).

Fourth month on the same spot. Probably waiting parts or parked for the winter (“winter” well, sort of)

Yeah, Top Gear tried to kill a Hi- Lux Pick-up.

Bad weather never was a problem.

How difficult is it to import a car back to the uk ?

 

[Zephyr]

I know nothing about cars, but I sold two motorcycles to a guy who came from Scotland with his van. I de-registered the bikes for export (just a few clicks on the .gov site) gave him the papers and he registered them in the UK within a week (i know because he sent me the papers back). But that war prior to Brexit, so, no idea now…

and I can make some calls if you find anything you like.
we do have some really cheap Z3s here, all rust free but most of them badly maintained regarding the engines.
