Virus alert! The following "VW stretch bus" site hosts a viral attack. AVOID it:

Some Aussie items of interest to many listees, found when googling
stretched Hiace:

Note that this is for Aussie-spec models. In Japan there are many
versions and trim levels of Hiace

This is a 2nd-generation (1974-81) Hiace. I have seen similarly-done
4th-gens used as airport shuuttles in Christchurch.

LHD Hiaces are available!

For those who are interested in renting a camper in New Zealand (and I
have had quite a few listees ask me about this)

Note that the trucks shown here are all Hiace-badged Dynas. Totally
different vehicles.

...and for those owning RHD vehicles in Canada, TAKE NOTE:
To Canadians with imported Vans:
Just passing on the battle call to all the Canadians on the forum with
a love of the Liteace/Townace/Hiace or any other import (BMW, Lotus,
VW etc)...
I wanted to contact your forum with some important news about the
15-year importation rule. The government is considering a change to a
25-year importation rule. This process has been building behind closed
doors for the last year without public notice or consideration. We at
IVOAC (Imported Vehicle Owners Association of Canada)
(http://www.ivoac.ca) received information that the draft is completed
and will be submitted for signature THIS SPRING. This is not rumor;
this is fact.
