Jap Discos were badged as county but might not be only that market
Check the V5 to see if its an import - date of first registration will be different from date of first reg. in UK if it is - although it wont tell you where its from
If it is VERY clean underneath then its a good chance it will be a Jap
There wont be any insurance issues since it was built in this country and should have a UK vin no. - ie sall.............................

If its in as good a condition as my P38 and the price is right then go for it
I still can't get over the condition these Jap imports are in when they hit this country
I was the first owner here with mine so it is now "enjoying" it's first Scottish winter - you know, salt on the roads, constant rain/snow etc. !
Even if the Disco has been here for two winters it should still be streets ahead of UK cars condition wise and if looked after will last for ages
I seriously don't think I could ever justify buying another one that has spent it's life here
Japan has a blanket 50 mph speed limit and they all appear to be well looked after - very few have tow bars and the majority have low mileage too

Mind you, it's all very well me saying it will last for ages - if you DO buy it , it will probably be up for sale in about six weeks with your track record !    :lol:
