If it says VSE (i think) it is spanish. also looking at the stalks on the steering column if they are square they are spanish if they are round they are jap.

another good way to tell is that if it is spanish the electrics have a mind of their own :lol:

and I believe the jap sj has 2 reverse lights, whereas the spanish vehicle will have only one :mrgreen:

My 410 is Japanese and the Vin Plate starts with VJ. So I assume the "J" means Japanese and if it's an "S" it's Spanish.
