Really enjoying this trip coverage, always been a massive fan of all things jdm! Bit new for here but I had this y34 cedric as a daily for a bit, loved it but fuel costs made it unsustainable to daily. Not quite as luxurious as a president but still a pretty nice place to be. Theres one of those for sale right now which tempts me, luckily I have no money.

Here's a couple of oddites for you from the collection. This is a post war design of some sort, which looks like someone pre-empted the "cute small Western car" thing by making a shrunken Rover P4 Cyclops This is a Datsun Baby. One of 100 which were built for kids to drive, as a way to teach kids about how cars work and to propmote road safety. They were donated by Nissan to the park where they were used in 1965. Nissan managed to get this one, number 100, and restored it in 2014 for display.

Great stuff, thank you. Awesome thread Nissan had (kinda still has in Japan) different sales channels for all these brands under what they called "Bluebird line" and "Prince line" and so on. This is now "simply" Nissan Blue and Nissan Red. Don't ask me why. I believe Toyota do something similar. When I was in Japan I was told that all of the different Toyota dealers (Toyota Store, Toyopet, Corolla Store and Netz) are all owned by Toyota but compete locally for business.

Oddly the only other one I've seen in the flesh was an m45 when I was on holiday in Chicago, it was a really tidy one. It was only a few weeks after I'd bought mine back home. Looking on the forums back when I had mine I could see they were pretty rare over there. It was a great car, just dailying it was a but stressful cus every time it needed something daft for an MOT it was a a week wait from Japan.

Loving the fact that they haven't been restored and are wearing battle scars with pride

That GTR-LM is just pure Gran Turismo memories for me, I think I'd get sensory overload walking round that place, so much cool stuff π

Funny you say that, the Tomica R30 Skyline was my absolute favourite on GT. It looks like an incredible museum
