I thought the FJC was US and Canada only- is someone importing the FJC to Phillipines independently?

All the grey market dealers are independently by the FJC in North America and resell them in Asia, Russia. A friend of my told me that he saw 2 FJC at dealership for 52K in Moscow, Russia. Guess russians have a lot of money cinsidering they buy Range rovers for 130K, and discovery's for 60K. The question is How they make those money? ......

No need to. Both the Phiilipnes and Russia drive on the same side we do. I believe in many nations that do drive on the left (especially 3rd world) that LHD vehicles are OK.

I saw many examples of American vehicles, mostly pickups and heavy trucks in Jamaica where they don't bother to convert to RHD.
