It's an import then

Depending on MY and model the ariel can be either in the rear 3/4 or in the a-pillar. Does it have a roof vent ? Post up the applied model code and we can work out what you have bought LOL

i might be able to offer something imports came into this country without any audio equipment fitted as standard all audio equipment was fitted at the docks. so it stand to reason that could fit it in either position.

Gets confusing for me, myself and the Mrs both have uk turbo 2000s, mines a '97 and hers is a '99. I keep trying to wipe the windows instead of indicating when I drive hers

Indeed, the early imports have them above the drivers door. Think they moved over to the rear quarter on the MY95 model.

They all had aerials as standard in Japan, so they sure as hell didnt only fit them once they got here!

I think you are maybe taking about classics that were made in Japan, but were for the UK market? i.e. Shipped over here as new cars and named "Turbo 2000"?

All the used JDM cars that have come across over the years will already have their aerials and air con and whatever else as it was when they left Japan. Nothing will have been added at this end other than a fog light for the MOT.
