The owner travels all around Japan to buy SVXs but his prices are very expensive. They have a US LHD model which they have been unable to sell since 1999. They also offer various 'refreshment plans' to breathe new life into older SVX models. These plans are very popular with Japanese owners.
Yes he told me that he drives really fast and got speeding ticket a lot.. that's why he has a Wakaba(beginers) mark on his rear window..

And a lot of drivers in Japan drive really fast in narrow streets with tons of pedestrians and bikes. I can never do that...

Yes, the black '94 SVX was still there!
