Hello Backzilla.....welcome :D

one of my best friends lives in Birmingham - I can't wait to get back over there and visit.

You're brave owning one of these gas hogs with the cost of your petro!

Re: Hello from acroos the pond

Some UK based syty's have indicator repeaters (blinkers) fitted in the fenders.

I guess either on import or at annual inspection (MOT) it has been decided that they are required.
I dont have them and would not want them particularly.
I personally imported my TY and the MOT garage is 'American' friendly.

Re: Hello from acroos the pond

Difficult to say with any certainty how many Typhoons (and Syclones) exist in the UK.
Probably the only real way of knowing is if someone had a contact at the DVLA.

Bauer Millet in Birmingham sold a few new but most have been imported individually from all over the world - USA, Japan, Saudi, Germany, Belgium.

I have never seen more than three Ty's together in 12 years of attending all sorts of events.
My best guess would be in the mid 20's but I could be way out

Re: Hello from acroos the pond

Many SyTy left from Japan for UK and 95% of them got brinkers on fender because we have to have them on fender (my Ty have no brinkers on there, either), thats why I asked.

So maybe your Ty also from Japan, I guess.

Re: Hello from across the pond

Yeah it is from japan. built in suzuka i beleive. Still finding bits out about it. The alarm is by a company called STEELMATE. cant find the instruction online anywhere. The guy that sold it knew nothing about the truck at all. He didnt even know the alarm work so i was very supried to find it had remote start 3 days after i bought it.

I bought it from a guy in edinburgh who bought it into the country in feb. Its white with gold bbs alloys.

Looks just like mine apart from wheels:lol:

Black painted cowl is unusual and presumably lack of door decals is due to repaint?

Nice looking truck though - 93 model? (no door handle surrounds)
