Just got a nice big bundle of old press photos, about 450 or so covering UK imports from Japanese makes from late 70's to about 1990 (except Datsun/Nissan and Mitsubishi, sadly).
Many of them fairly predictable, and almost all B&W - imagine any given Toyota, Mazda or whatever in super-shiny condition parked somewhere suitably photogenic and you've got the idea.
There's a few oddities there though......
I like to think this is what NickB would have looked like in his Carina-owning days.
This looks a bit scary, bloke driving is certainly not smiling!
Drug-dealing back in 1987 seems to have been rather unsubtle.
And what is causing these very executive-looking gents to smile so much?
A few more to follow in a day or two, including some rather ill-advised bodykits I've noticed. There's a big old heap to sort through.
