Not many big bumpered 70s Minis left that are still stock though. Would be a rare find.

They are JDM cars that you can import to Canada. So once they are 25 you can import to the US. Not sold new here though.

We did not get the Golf Country. I am not sure about a G60 Golf.

We got like 98 E36 M3's with the Euro spec engine priced at $87,500 plus options in 1994.

I have only see one E30 wagon and I am pretty sure it was a euro import. I don't think they were available at a dealership, but I could be wrong.

Nope. Canadian market FD Rx-7s are quite rare. More RHD ex-JDM ones about now. Same with the Supra and a less extent 300ZX.
