Default ERA #315 in Japan. Any info known?

Hello.
I have found an ERA Cobra in Japan and was very interested in it's history if any is known.
It's an ERA 427 in blue. looks like it was put on the road in 1993 in Japan, But might have been used when it came from USA.
Would it have been factory manufactured? which year possibly?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

315 was originally a USA car that made its way to Japan. A lot of them did because it's easier to get a used car into Japan than to build it from a kit. Most of them were kept LHD.

Didn't Turk's old car end up in Japan as well? Is this it?

I think Turk's car was in the high 400s or 500s.
