I see a few of these vans on the streets in Canada.  More common than the
vans though are Japanese market landcruisers.
I would consider buying one, but these imports are all Righ Hand Drive.  No
thanks. Also, what about parts for a vehicle which was never sold here?
There is a company near me that imports JDM vehicles, all are RHD.

Maybe that american van was imported to Canada first, then exported to the
US.
