LIER!
There were no Toyota Vans in Cyprus before 1974. You could hardly even find Japanese cars back then. The first tiny Subaru Vans arrived around 1974 with a 6HP motorcycle engine, they were like a joke.
Ford-yes, Volkswagen-yes, Morris yes, Toyota- no.
NB.My own boss was offered the Agency of Mazda in Cyprus well after 1974 and he refused because they were so bad.
