I lived in Japan for 6 years. I bought my '72E in Hokkaido in 2006 and brought it back with me (via Hong Kong, stopped off there for 2 years!).
Welcome to DDK
Hi 72911E
Nice! I love Hokkaido! Your car must be used to ice and snow!
I have a suspicion that my car was once in Hong Kong before it came to Japan.
Both of my keys were cut/made in Hong Kong!

Congratulations on eventually getting through the DVLA process - it has been a pain for the last two years, with understaffing, Covid shutdowns and then, as you say, strikes. Things are still far from normal, so it's great that you can finally enjoy the car. Sand Beige looks fantastic!
Welcome to DDK!
Oh oh.... I am now modifying my expectation that my 73 T being a nice Christmas present to myself. What with the DVLA being a not as pleasant as it once was and as my status is currently "waiting" on a container I won't say which Christmas...

Thank you KS!
I wrote to my mp and asked the transport minister to haul the ceo of DVLA up in front of the transport select committee and account for why problems have persisted for so long and not been sorted. I got a letter back from some baroness or other, my long awaited driving license magically appeared and they now do the two things I was pushing for - 1. to circulate among all staff an updated list of the current processing times for standard tasks, and 2. a rating system and feedback mechanism with free text, for all customer interactions. Looks like somebody finally banged a few heads together.
