They usually have the Tokyo Motor Show every two years, and they're having one right now. I'm not sure if I'll go this time or not, but if I do, I'll take some video and post something. - LHS
No-no! $800 would only be Y80,000. I called a friend and they said from Y200,000 to Y300,000 ($2,000 to $3,000), but also mentioned that they think the price has dropped lately.... - LHS
Well, pretty much everything about cars is more expensive in Japan than in other countries. From parking, to taxes, to gasoline, etc. I haven't checked lately, but I seem to remember a figure something like... like... I can't remember! I was going to write Y800,000, but that must be too much. I'll try to find out. - LHS
Yeah - that's a pretty cool car. Mazda won the 24 Hours of Le Mans that year too. I'm not sure, but I think the engine they had on display at the show was the actual engine that won the race.... - LHS
Vintage event!
In that year I was just a kid. Heard it and have a dream to go someday.
