Why Japanese classics are rising
For decades they were overlooked; now collectors recognize their importance and quality. The Datsun 240Z made the affordable sports car a global success, Toyota and Honda built bulletproof drivers, and Mazda kept the rotary alive. Clean, original examples are getting scarce because so many were used up and rusted away.
Buying a Japanese classic
Rust and originality are the central concerns. Many Japanese classics corroded badly, so a solid, unmolested body is worth a real premium. Originality matters increasingly to this market — unmodified survivors command the strongest prices. Parts for popular models (Z-cars, Land Cruisers) are well supported; rarer models can require patience.
