Eeewww! That's certainly, er, different.


I'm intrigued by the CF, as well as that weird little tipper and the Berlin-built microcar.

Rich, the trip to see the Mitsubishi wasn't wasted as sometimes, it's necessary to see the worst in order to appreciate the best when the chance arises. It did reinforce my current view that importing rust free cars from countries with favourable climates is a good practice though, if a lazy way to avoid wading through acres of corroded steel and broken, expensive stuff such as engines. OK, so it's possible to get caught out by the con artists who exist in Japan as they do elsewhere, but it's also a great deal easier to find decent cars out there. Importing isn't a thing to do for the impatient as the wait for the boat to arrive can be stressful and long, but that's where the UK's many specialist import traders can help.. At a price of course.
Meanwhile, a friend of mine has just purchased this because he likes weird cars too:

It replaces his bright yellow Morris Minor as a show car, and will see occasional use as daily transport to keep the Corolla (the one that was mine and is still free of rot and in perfect working order as it enters its 29th year).. Where does the time go, eh?
