Remembering Japanese cars from the past
I have seen a couple of topless Toyota Celica AA63 before, but never a Celica Supra mark II. That was until now…
Yes, someone chopped off the roof of this Celcia Supra MA61. Or even better: someone did this professionally!
Now the most interesting part of this car is the rear: Continue reading
No this is not a product of an undiscovered British car brand with an exotic name:
It is is also not the new London taxi built by a Chinese car manufacturer either…
It actually is a product by Mitsuoka called the Galue and is based upon the Nissan Crew taxi!
