Lots of fake ones, which also brings down prices of real ones. Newly purchaced 2000 TJ-60 Now called the TJ-78 in great shape $450.00 Canadian or roughly 215.00 british pounds. Got it from the local classifieds. I consider it now a steal.
I don't think anyone is saying that the authenticity of ALL Tokai's coming out of Canada is dubious - just be on your toes, do your homework and share pics and info BEFORE you pull the trigger on one. Nice junior brokentoes and a steal at that.
Collectively, we've all been able to identify not only the fakes but we've also been able to pinpoint a source location - well done, lads. That's what a forum like this should do.
Sending out a big thanx to the forum members to all their research and collectve knowledge without which I would have been quite in the dark about many a tokai question. <><><><>STRUM ON<><>><><>
