This is a US/California spec '84 Westy being imported
from the states (california, in fact).
We looked at a list of *ineligable* vehicles, but the
list only went back to 88, i think. I'd have to
imagine the van is fine, but we're still wondering a
bit about the honda...
Thanks for the speedy reply,
