Classic Japanese Car Show, April 25th

[Daryl Smith]

The All Classic Japanese Car and Bike Show
Spanish Banks
Vancouver, BC

Nice show for the start of the year. Great beach setting, sometimes a little cool, temp wise...

Next Sunday for those that may attend. I will do my best to get there in the AM for an hour or 2 but problems with rear leaf springs will keep my car from showing again this year.......

Depending on the weather, I wouldn't mind taking a run out there .

Daryl

I will try and make it. See you there.

PS change your profile. You don`t live in Delta any more.

I found this image, but is there a website? Google failed me this time.

[BlackEddy]

Dang, that snuck up on me.

I'm guessing I won't be able to make it as I leave for the Spring Thaw on the 29th and I forsee some last minute preparation this weekend. Too bad, it's a great show in a beautiful spot. Maybe the guy with the jet powered Honda scooter will make another appearance...he put on a pretty wild show last year.

If the weather is clear I will try to come. The wine fest is on sat night so there may be a slight hang over.

[Daryl Smith]

10:15 AM and raining... But it looks like it may clear up so I'm grabbing the camera and heading down to the beach with high hopes............

[GeoffM]

Yeah, woke up early and headed out with the roadster...drove through two showers and decided to turn around.

[Daryl Smith]

Well, the show started out rather wet, but it did clear up and was quite nice by lunchtime.
There were several interesting and nice cars cars there.

My favourite was a 1970 Datsun 1000 with an A15 / 4 spd and single Dellorto 40mm sidedraft carb, electric fan, electronic dizzy, and a couple other small mods.




A Datsun 4WD visiting From Washington State....


A very clean, slightly modded '86 Celica Supra....


And a rarely seen here Toyota Crown 6 cyl. auto.....(sorry front pic didn't turn out)


There were a bunch of nice 510s, a few Corrollas, a 240 SX with an RB25 turbo which was a very nice install, a couple of first generation(?) Toyota Celicas, and a number of other cars of varying interest.......

But nary a roadster in sight.......

[BlackEddy]

Wow, no roadsters at all? I think last year there were 3...weather was beautiful though.

That Datsun 1000 is awesome! Hope to see it sometime at one of the other meets.

[dieter ka24de]

Sorry
It was raining that morning,with no roof it made it difficult, not too mention the hang-over from the wine tasting.

[Gregs672000]

That little 1000 is fantastic... didn't even know they existed. Was that like the 1200? Had a friend that raced one of those quite successfully for many years.

[Alvin]

that 1000 is cool, is see a gangsta hachi in the background too

[FergO2k]

that Datsun 1000 is VERY cool.

Funny, when I saw the rear view, the first thing I thought of was BMW 2002 Touring, the hatchback version, which are very rare in the States.

[George H]

The Datsun 1000 was the model before the 1200. We got them in Canada but I believe the US never got them.
