Does anyone know if the vx was sold in Japan? Am thinking of exporting if I go to Japan next year to live. Can only find an article on Internet that states 100 were thinking of being sold.
Or maybe there are some Elise there by export?

Didn't they try to sell the Daewoo branded version in Japan? Or was that just a motor show special type thing?

Not sure if its was for sale in Japan but Daewoo certainly rebranded the speedster out the far east way.

From what i can tell here (german) it was.
https://de.wikipedia...al_Motors_Japan
The RHD Opel Speedster NA was introduced on oct 15 2002, and on sale for a few months in 2003 (from jan 11 to feb, or march).
According to an automotive article (in japansese) it was a scheduled for 100 pieces.

As the name Opel Speedster get's written in japanese over there, it get's no hits in google searching in english.
Here's an owner with an active blog, showing some local meetings

In one of the pictures, there's a list of dash numbers, that are mostly pretty together.

I can confirm i've supplied one pair of headlight lenses to Japan (postal addresses are a nightmare, btw). So I assume there's at least one.

Speedsters occasionally come up for sale on Japanese car auctions. Usually very low mileage cars but prices are higher then in UK.

Never knew this. Wonder if it would be worth more in this country as so incredibly rare.
