With classic Japanese cars starting to have their moment in the spotlight, more early Japanese cars are emerging from their hidey holes for people who see their potential to bring them back. Now, instead of suffering under the label of tinny, poor quality excuses for transportation, they’re seen with a nostalgic eye (even if it’s not so likely the people who originally had them would be nostalgic for them). Is this because people who can’t afford admission to (or don’t like) the European and American classic car scenes are looking for an alternative, or because people who already are into Japanese cars are looking back for some sense of where their Civics and 370Zs came from? Either way, you should probably start hoarding Hyundai Excels and the rare Mitsubishi Precis derivative in anticipation of a similar thing happening for Korean car fans.
