I just drove a right-hand-drive Japanese-spec 1990 Toyota Townace 4X4 van... Turbo diesel of course, or else what would be the point of talking about it....
The engine sounds great...nice turbo whistle. It's very free revving, and needs to be because the gearing is so low in this thing. Redline was at 5000 RPM. I don't think the engine is very powerful. I would guess around 80 or 90 HP maybe.... but it gets the thing moving. The engine sounds quieter and smoother than my 2004 PD.
It's too bad they never sold anything like this over here in North America.
Right hand drive takes a bit of getting used to...
