I held this camping with Mt-Fuji(east side). (Named Susono). "1
Westy-owner Ikeda" shares this camping ground with 10 people. The farmer of
this zone grows grass. But, demand for the grass gets cold now. Because,
Japanese economy is the bottom of the sea. Many golf course plans are held
over. Therefore, much agricultural land of this zone was changed to the
camping ground... Should I be glad at this? Should I feel sorry? Ticket?
yeah.. about USD$25.00-day!
Okay?

Hi Michael,
Your welcome.. Yes, The T4 which you found was imported from UK.
Therefore, sliding-door was the left. Name is Vila.
Of course steering is the right. But, all other Westys came from
US Canada to Japan. Therefore, steering is the left.
One-off Turbo came from Canada. Seattle's list may know this 87WestySyncro.
"HKS-Turbo" was mounted in Japan this year.
Then, Turbo pressure is being adjusted now.
I found only one exception. It was Oettinger Carat.
Oettinger was the "left steering" and "left sliding-door". Funny....
Okay?
