Fabulous looking car, with a great engine.

I'm staring up at a speeding ticket receipt pinned to my study notice board from a few years back, caught on the Tomei Express way just outside Machida, Tokyo. Twin Turbo Aristo, even the same colour (but different wheels!). Loved that car to bits, will see if I can dig out a photo...

That is really rather nice! What sort of money do these go for? Never even heard of one before.

There are alway a few on autotrader between £5 and £11k.

Been looking at getting one for the OH for a while but she won't have it, one of these with a few choice mods is on my lottery list. I would like to have a nice comfy autobox cruiser that runs 11sec 1/4 miles. biggrin
