Hi Elvis,

Depends on the parts that you're after...
Quite a few are available through Mr Toyota emporiums but they can, occasionally, be expensive. Servicing items can be had from places like Milners. A number of the existing 40 owners have built up stocks of some spares. Similarly some members have contacts in the USA, OZ and Europe.

Best to ask first - you never know who's got what.

The bit that will always be difficult is body parts, but again, it's worth asking first on the forum.

Shipping is often the killer when buying from the States but I use Borderlinx - for £5 you get an American shipping address and you tell them when to ship the stuff to you (combined sources) and then you pay the shipping, duty and VAT. e.g I was quoted nearly $500 for shipping to the UK - using the Borderlinx route it cost around me around £80 all in! Big difference.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Rodger

Parts are a nightmare to get unless you've got deep pockets
