I do have some connection to South Africa.  I used to live there for twenty
years.  I even know someone who is a service manager in a dealership.  I
know shipping is one issue, but I am not sure if the US emission standards
would be met by their units.  Unless you are requesting it to make them that
way.  The sliding doors are on the other side and the steering wheel too.
Unless they make some for export that meet our standard.
