Howdy Forum,

I would love to find a used Delica to buy somewhere in Quebec or possibly Ontario.
If you have one you're thinking to get rid of, or have any tips, please share!
I have seen the odd one for sale on here but not for a while.

thanks!

RHD drive is no longer legal in Quebec so there are a few work arounds that you should be able to find using the search feature here or someone else may no more offhand. (I'd try to find you some info but I'm trying to study right now and really shouldn't be online) :-D

"RHD drive is no longer legal in Quebec"

Very good to know. Now I recall hearing something about that...bit of a hurdle.

That's not true...... RHD has not been banned in Quebec, just new registration has temporarily by ministerial order. It's in court now pending to be thrown out. If you can find one already brought in and plated, you can drive one without question.

I'm sorry for the miscommunication, Importing a RHD vehicle to Quebec is illegal. Therefor buying one in Ontario if you live in Quebec will not be possible...

actually incorrect as well :-D

Importing and registering a RHD vehicle into Quebec is not possible for private registration but is possible for a few exceptions : government and commercial RHD's are allowed and 'some' private are allowed.

So basically they just don't want new RHD's in but will allow some for themselves ! :-D

haha, I definitely need to chose my words better, I realize that it isn't completely impossible (postal vehicles etc are still allowed). For the purposes of importing a Delica or Pajaro to Quebec though it is essentially illegal although the fact that I have taken a course in writting contracts indicates that I should have chosen my words more carefully. 8-)
