This eagle white MR2 AW11 is not Allard van Grafhorst’s old AW11 but another white one:
It looks equally great and certainly drew my attention.
At the rear you can clearly see the car is in perfect condition: Continue reading

There wasn’t that many 70s cars around at the Japanse Autosport Festival. Probably got to do with the fact that anything sporty from the 70s nowadays is tucked away in a museum.
This Mitsubishi Celeste also looked like it belonged in a museum. Period correct number on the license plate and it looked almost as stunning as the Mitsubishi Cordia! And of course this one is based on the Galant A70 series, so it is rear wheel drive!
Another stunning looker was this track prepped Sunny B110: Continue reading
At the JAF this note on a 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia drew my attention:
For the non-Dutchies: it states the car has been in a barn for 28 years and now after 29 years and 5 months it had 2 MOTs and 3500 kilometers on the odometer! Yes, that’s for real!
This is what the car looks like: Continue reading
Let’s continue with the JAF photos I shot!
At the Wangan Warriors Season Kickoff Meeting I missed out on this Suzuki Alto Works RS-R CC72V:
I *just* had left when I arrived at the meetup. :(
So this time I made sure to take photos of it *before* it could even leave the premisses! Continue reading
Apparently the contact form was broken for a while and I only found out because someone mailed me directly.
Fix has been performed and it works now.
To make it up to you I’d like to post this nice ratlook Alto SS40 I spotted at the Japanse Autosport Festival:
I made a tough decision last Monday: my Carina is for sale!
The reason why? Well I got an offer for a (project) car that I can’t refuse. ;)
My goal is to sell the whole as one lot, but if some buyer decides not to buy all the parts/JDM stuff I’ll put that here for sale seperately. So what does the whole package include?
Toyota Carina 1.6 DX TA60 Automatic
Built: 1982 (July)
Color: white (cream)
Mileage: 91874 km
Interior: black/cream white
The Carina has always had its checkups at a Toyota dealer and looks great for its age, but naturally there are some small points of attention: white stains on the windshield (outside viewing range so no MOT problem), rust on C-pilar near the left rear door, small parking dent on the right rear door but there is no scratch in the paint (some unknown person bumped into mine on a parkinglot and left without leaving a note).
The car has APK (Dutch MOT) till 7th of July 2013, exhaust has been replaced three years ago, waterpump last year and the car had its 90000 km checkup at the Toyota dealer October last year.
During the 90000 km checkup rust was revealed in the rear inner fenders and early 2013 this has been professionally fixed (by 2mmm sheetmetal) and the floorpan is now solid and rust free.
APK will naturally be prolonged by 2 years.
