In japan, both 3 door, and 5 door versions of the prado were made. In Australia, only the 5 door versions were sold by toyota.

Any 3 door versions have been imported under the 'low volume import' scheme, or '15 yr old - classic' scheme. (Like the Surfs that are around).

As far as I know, neither of these can be imported much anymore - govt changed the import rules.

If you find one, and want it, do some research for things like parts availability
and insurance. Often parts are available, but for other models sold in australia. eg: Suf motor was used in hilux, body components from forerunner, etc). Also, many insurance companies won't insure so called 'grey imports', or will make you pay heavily for the pleasure.

Good hunting.
