Taking a leisurely stroll in chilly weather is not something that we get to do very often, seeing as how our climate alternates between hot and sweltering on a daily basis. But when it comes to the Tokyo Motorshow (TMS), not spending time outside would be a travesty…
You see, it goes without saying that the Japanese take their cars very seriously, and nowhere is that more evident than in the parking lot of TMS, where out of the blue (or red in this case) you chance upon an original Lancia Delta Integrale (above), or 4-years ago when I spotted this…
Yup, a mint-condition Toyota 2000GT in the flesh. Well, this mustard beauty wasn’t at the show this year, but there were some rather interesting cars to be found in the parking lot anyways…
Like this brilliant Alfa Romeo 156 GTA for example. Yes, there’s a very strong following for the iconic Italian marque in Japan, evidenced by what I spied 4-years ago below…
That’s a genuine classic ‘Stepfront‘ or ‘Stepnose‘ Alfa Romeo GTV folks, as rare as they come, parked next to a newer Fiat 500.
This year didn’t disappoint either, so in no particular order, here are the ‘Parking Lot’ Stars of TMS 2017 that caught my eye! Enjoy the gallery! – Chris Wee.
