The diversity of cars and brands was really great. It’s only a pity i missed to shoot a few cool cars before they left. Loved this rare toyota Sports 800 on original Hayashi wheels. what a rare sight πŸ™‚

This genuine swiss Skyline GC10 “Hakosuka” was the first i saw in real life. But sadly it was in bad shape and had a lot of 80ies style tuning which made the car look terrible in my opinion. but good to see these rare cars are still alive πŸ™‚P1120521

This is my mate Jerome’s beautiful Datsun 510 Bluebird. Great colour and rare car over here as well.P1120470

Another cool carΒ  (Sunny B12) from a customer of mine. Sadly i didn’t find Davide to talk to him before they left πŸ™P1120453

This Datsun 2000 Deluxe-six was probably one of the oldest, but also coolest cars around gotta love the Gangster vibe these cruisers give you immediatly when standing next to them πŸ™‚P1120459

They also let a few more modern but rare cars to the show area like this Autech Stagea RS with RB26 Engine and drivetrain from the Skyline models. It’s basically a R34 skyline wagon. It seemed to be freshly imported and beeing in process of making it road legal and beeing nice again. because it looked a bit abused…P1120539

Another rare sight from an austrian attendant: A Mazdaspeed AZ-1. Never seen one of these Kei-coupe’s before (ecxept the daihatsu copen). but this rear-engined car with gullwings looked like a hell of fun to drive.P1120523

Mazda and datsun guys had the biggest number of cars at the show so it was nice to see a few 240Z and newer models like the 260Z, 280ZX and the 300ZX in different themes:P1120534

Celica GT liftback. Sometimes American influence made the japanese cars even cooler πŸ™‚P1120505

There was plenty more to see. so check the gallery for all the pix.Β  Hope to be able to attend the event with my own car in a few years πŸ™‚

    What, you where there too? I didn’t see you there too. And I also didn’t see the Hakusoka, I must have been walking around with eyes closed πŸ˜€
    I’m sure we’ll see us again sometime soon at another meeting πŸ˜‰

    Hi there πŸ˜€ We’ll you left pretty early *lol* just joking. I saw your cars when i arrived, but didn’t see you. walked arouond a bit and then figured out you already left. Short thereafter the Hakosuka arrived.. you should have stayed an hour longer πŸ˜€

      there was at least at one point another one with swiss homologation with some “KΓ€rcher” graphics on it. However the show is small but cool, very laid back atmosphere and well worth a visit πŸ™‚
