Info & Pics of the Japanese market 480s!

The Japanese Turbo 480 - yet another holy grail. Like the Paris Blue limited edition!

We have 3 of each signed up for Cologne '26...... only joking

That's the tidiest 480 I have EVER seen in a scrap yard!

From what I understand, the Japanese tend to look after their cars far more than the West typically does. I don’t think they put salt on their roads either (which will explain those pristine arches)

I wonder what the story is with that car and why it ended up in the scrapyard. It’s either

1 - completely non-existent parts availability
2 - strict Japanese tax laws that basically make running older cars not economically viable.
