I just linked up a secondary auction site for anyone who wants to use it

There's a lot of improvements from the previous one, and that one is still available if you prefer it.

I was recently looking at a van and talking to the seller about having made trips up to BC looking for a Delica, noting that they were much cheaper than the vans available in the states.

Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of purchasing a BC registered vehicle. For any Oregonians out there with delicas, where have you gotten your insurance? What are the rates like?

Most importantly, where's your favorite place in Oregon to take it?!

I went through Hagerty. I am paying $446 USD per year with a $1,000 deductible. State Farm didn't know how to insure it, but they want another stab at a quote. However, without a 17 digit VIN, they don't seem to know what to do. I'll be darned if they want to insure it as an '89 Mitsubishi Van, and...

I'm going to look at a 1989 L300 Delica tomorrow. It's a low-roof with a manual, 4WD, and the 4D56. I've briefly looked it over once, and it appears to be clean and very low rust. That being said, what are some things I should specifically look for on this vehicle? Anything in particular?

Last post

They sold L300s here until 2015 so they're the most common van you see on the road- as you probably noticed ;-)

Manuals are a bit rare. There's a design fault which starts with 5th gear, the mainshaft nut comes loose and the gears move around, eventually failing in a spectacular manner. It's...

I recently bought a first generation L400 97 Delica from a dealer and it has DOT on inside of headlight. There is no E code on this headlight. Is this a illegal headlight for BC? I was informed by someone that it is not legal? That Delica never had dot headlights from Japan. Have I been scammed by...

Last post

...If there's an arrow pointing to the right ➞ then the headlamp is for the wrong (left) side of the road. That's a little counterintuitive until you realise the arrow, as you face it , is pointing to the side of the road the headlamp is for use on.

It took me a while to parse this, as I usually...

After a few glowing praises about older Delicas I've decided to look into this as a replacement for our current vehicle. What are your thoughts on import vs. local purchase? We're about 4 hrs from Vancouver, so we're close enough to check out the importers there or pick up the one we import...

Thanks for your reply!
Our winning bit was approximately $1000.00
Wow that seems like a great deal compared to what I'm seeing out there now. I looked up Weldon, thanks for the tip. So the $2000 for importing all went to him or to Thomson too (I couldn't find info on that recommendation)?
