AOMC Japanese Classic Car Show - Sunday 26th Feb 2012

[Silly Rabbit]

Just let that cool change happen from about 5pm or later and all will be sweet....should be a top day.

[Sturgey]

will be there for a look

Looking forward to this, might have to buy the parents digi cam!

[Silly Rabbit]

Fair day....won't say top day but was good none the less.......was good to see a reasonable turnout of the old Prince Skylines etc.......that said most of the plastic bumpered stuff was not my cup of tea but hey I am sure the AOMC will take away a few things from the day to make it better next year. ......roll on TCCAV Classic Japan I say

Good day and variety, I'm pooped! Was there a presentation? I didn't hear/see anything?

That Corona GT was stunning. Also curious about the TA22 GT with the injected 2TG. The compliance plate was in English rather than japanese. Was this an evaluation car?

Also discovered there is another original KE15 out there being restored by a keen husband & wife team.

Loved the Prince Skyline being towed around by the Prince Gloria. It really was a great turnout by the Prince group.

Shame the hakosuka skyline didn't make it off the flatbed.

But yes, I think the Classic Japan show was far superior, but anything that draws these cars out is worth supporting.

Agreed, any day that is about Japanese cars is a good one! Today made me realise just how good our show was on grass so I hope we can do the same for Classic Japan 2012.

Thanks for all the Toyota people who came out and supported the show today. Were it not for us and the Datsun/Nissan people that would have been a very sad little show.

This MR2 won an award for best mid-engined car - and it was very nicely presented



I loved the interior - is it factory?


Andy's two new Toyota manfufactured rides looked tops together - car and bike!


I love wagons


I am with Parrot. This Corona is amazing! Bloke has owned it for 40 years, and lives 150m away from Mel's parents place!


Engine Bay


I loved all the bling on the Prince 6


RB26 in what we know as a 240K. Mmmmmmm!




A couple of realllllly nice 240Z's too...this is just one


More to come

[SilverRA23]

Loved how clean this 180B was


Cool Datsun ute, spewing I didn't get my brother's Tiara sorted to give it some competition!


This Roadster had been finished off beautifully


Look like Mx5 seats to me


Paint job on this Galant was awesome! Shame it was the sole Mitsubishi representative


The sole Honda representative was also awesome!


And it is a shame this wasn't off the flatbed...


There were some cool rotaries there but they left before I got to photography them.

Shame not many other makes besides Toyota, Datsun/Nissan and the Mightyboys really supported this. Hopefully we can get them out of the wordwork later in the year.

Nice piccies Adam! The red shovel-nose... the engine in it, is it an early 2tg of some sorts? Never seen one like that before. Also i dont know about anybody else, but the beef hamburger from that caravan is making me do more skids than at a drift day!

Toyota 9R 1600cc Engine

No messing around adding G's to engine names in those days

[Roscos]

A complete copy of an early Alfa motor but Toyota improved on them.
