As mentioned in part 1 I've finally collected another Japanese 50th. This particular one was imported shortly after my original one and has stood untouched and unregistered for 7 years.
There's lots to do in order to get this 50th up to a standard starting with an MOT to get registration underway. Unfortunately it is a non runner at the moment due to a failed fuel pump.
I suspect like the last one, a new engine will be required due to the usual liner failure on the 4.0.
Hopefully will make a good Winter project.

Stunning pal. Japanese 50ths are one of my all time favourites - will watch with interest.

Lots of wiring to strip out and get back to original starting with the Japanese satnav and the toll reader. A period genuine radio cassette will be going in.

Externally the paint seems pretty fair with small amount of lacquer lift to wing. Rubbers will need replacing to windscreen and alpine windows. Renewal of exhaust and genuine mudflaps to fit. Side steps are rotten through.

Not yet. There was a forum member that might have a lose one nearby, but haven’t heard back yet.

Basically looking to get enough measurements to model one on Fusion360 so I can mod a euro one to match.

Your steps were new Dan so they've not lasted long. The bumper is different - the receiver is plated over but definitely NAS with the tubular bracing and it still has the OEM sticker.

Where do you find such vehicles? Or is that a secret? Can't believe some thing could be left for 7 years untouched when there is very little wrong with it.

8 years ago I imported a 50th and a friend from the Wirral then followed and this was his project. I completed mine and subsequently sold it to Hairy Dan.

Unfortunately this was to remain untouched under cover in dry storage and because of circumstances my friend is unable to do anything further. I was asked if I would buy it to help us both out with certain life issues and so here she is.

Always a bonus to find and see originality.
