I have seen many Japanese imports in Hermany, mostly very well maintained. Air-cooled Porsches only from 964 onwards in larger quantities. Almost no G Models, The problem with these 964 types was that almost all of them had a very boring hydraulical automatic torque converter, which led to significant price reductions. On the other hand, the Japanese like to buy expensive German cars new as LHD, so it is a more attractive offer.
I visited a few used guitar stores in Tokyo and Kyoto. Whether 10, 20 or 50 years old, a Gibson is almost always mint. That's almost funny again with a 50-year-old guitar looking mint. But that's how the Japanese are.
Graham, is the photographic equipment not so well looked after in Japan?
