For those not interested in slowly flicking through a bunch of virtual pages, the message was-
"This is the last right hand door to be made at DMC. It was made by B Agkinson (sic), Brian Doyle, Phil Gough, Hugh Barrett, R.J.Cowden, K Ferris, Boatman, The end of a dream or is it?"

I loved seeing the DMC sign by the plant entrance, spotted the odd car which was mind blowing as a kid

Bookmarked to see where this thread is going, but I have a feeling it will be a lot of work to get it shipped over from Japan, and that before you even start trying to restore it.

I checked the coordinates, and it's about 3 and a half hours away on the train from me, a bit more deeper in Chiba than I thought.

Might try to pop down sometime over the next few weeks.

And then you'd really want to convert it to right hand drive, too much effort IMO.

You don't have to convert it, you can easily drive LHD over here. Besides, if you sell it on you keep the US and EU market open if it is LHD.

Just thinking the same, far too clean, and that plant life on the rear engine bonnet, is just that, a plant!

Actually on second thoughts even though it's an awesome find, I bet someone still owns it and the land it's on.
Most likely just someone's parked up and unloved car. Exporting it would probably just result in a very confusing Japanese arrest at some point!
