What an epic thread. Congrats on the buy and build - looking forward to seeing that car stateside.

Must be eligible for import soon, if not already, as a 1997.

Out of all of my years here, this is the greatest 2nd gen GS thread I have ever seen. And it makes me sure that I someday want to import an Aristo.

Thanks - the man who owned it previously did quite a bit of work, I am very fortunate to be in the position I am in.

It is eligible very soon, but it has more work being done at Revolfe and then it heads to Mirage Auto Design, which is Mr. Uwabo's new company.

Looked through the thread, awesome car. I am in stationed in Japan and just bought a 99 V300. It is getting JCI'd right now. Once it is done it will ship from Tokyo to me in Yamaguchi. Bone stock with only 39kms. Plan is to have it shipped stateside once eligible. For now only things I plan on doing to it are a nice set of wheels and good tires. That and getting rid of the factory nav. I'll have to purchase a used climate control unit and get an American media player from Crutchfield or similar.
What are the specs of the BBS wheels on the silver car? Looks like a staggered setup. I was on Croooober looking at square setups, but willing to do staggered if I can find a nice flush fitment.
Also, anything I need to pay attention to once I get the car in my hands? With the age, I am concerned about wire harness degradation as well as all rubber/bushings in the suspension.

There is a Revolfe built Aristo that is available for sale in Japan right now. DM me if you would like information on it.

You will probably never find one. I know of one person who has one.
