I am in tokyo on business and thought it wise to pop along. I was saddened to see that TVR were proported to be not represented as I have seen a few over here in my travels.

I spent the day wandering around the show (there is an extremely impressive global showing, new cars from a lot of manufacturers), and an even more impressive component show, if you like that sort of thing, ranging from emission controls to whole car systems led lights etc.

I happened to call into the Concept car show section and Amazingly TVR had a stand in there. There was a T350C in Yellow and a Tuscan in Chamaleon paint. Considering it was the only display without scantily clad japanese ladies drapped all over it (the japanese seam to photograph them more than the cars), it had a huge crown around them both. No one was representing the cars just a little stand with leaflets from autotrading (www.autotrading.co.jp/) .

Toyo tires also had a small stand (they managed to fit 7 ladies on it, in keeping with the shows theme!) and there was some very impressive in car entertainment from every manufacturer you can think of. Finally the star of the show in my mind was the exhaust system from Fujitsubo (http://fujitsubo.co.jp) , with electronic remote controlled bypass valves!
