Tokyo Bp Nostalgia Car Show (pics)

[shiro240]

Hey guys,

Last weekend I went to the BP Nostalgia Car Show in Odaiba. For months I had been seeing the advert for this thing posted all around the Tokyo metro area and, me being a such an old car "otaku", there was no way I was going to miss this show. The pricetag for admission was a steep 2000 yen, so expectations were quite high on my part. The show, however, did not disappoint. With some of the rarest cars Japanese sportscars present (including numerous vintage Skylines, a stable of Toyota 2000GT's, along a booth from Dome) it was certainly a show to remember. Be sure and check it out when it rolls in to your part of Japan!

I've spent the last day trying to sort through all the photos, but I could only manage to get the album down to around 100. Also, I haven't had time to crop and color correct, so apologies in advance.

Here's a bit of a preview...

Here's a link to the full album:

Enjoy!

I remember reading they chopped the top off one for a James Bond movie. Could it be the same car? Anyone know if there was more than one convertable 2000GT made?

Awesome pics... The 2000GT race car is by far the best car there (well to me anyway!) It's like a Japanese E-Type jag with its smooth classic curves; hot!

To my knowledge the gt in the bond movie was not a production car and was built from the ground up esp. for the film. It is therefore not included in the production numbers.

Compared to Tokyo Auto Salon, it was tiny. I'd guess around 50-70 cars but I could be wrong. For this show, however, it was better to have quality over quantity.
