Stumbled across this website from Japan.
Great photos showing all their products, especially some of the cars for sale

Nice one Chop Chop!

They want $80k for the black MK1 S :shock:

I just came back from a holiday in Japan. They certainly love their Minis over there. I checked out a few Mini related shops on my trip, the best being Turtle Trading (link below).

Love to get to Japan for one of those mini shows they put on.
Especially with all the sprints, travellers etc they have over there.

Great link mini-mini

Guys, it's a standard MkII Morris grille in UK spec with the quick release (quick steal?) nuts added. UK cars got the "Rover surround" with the MkII cars. For some reason Aussie roundnose MkII kept the MkI shape grille.

Nice car though!
