TLC now sold in India

I believe this is a new development (as opposed to special imports for the rich) so could be useful for spares.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Maybe Tata buying LR shook them up!

Great for 200 series spares; not so hot for spares for previous stuff that was never sold there.

Can't imagine what the import duties will be, either - is it still 100% for cars in India?

I think you are right. Nothing to get excited about after all then.

What amazed me in Pakistan was why there were so many TLC 80 serieses there - pretty close to 1 in 10 of all vehicles from what I could see. Some Toyotas - like the Corolla - are assembled there so no import duty, but the LC was always imported. How DID they afford to pay the import duty? And it may well have been even higher than 100% when the 80 was current in the 1990s.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
