Complete Catalog of Japanese Motor Vehicles

This catalog was originally published in the USA under the same title in 1961 by Floyd Clymer. At the time of his visit to Japan, Clymer made arrangements with the Japan Motor Industrial Federation to secure the US publishing rights for this catalog.
This re-print is true to the original and comprises a complete, educational and unique catalog of the emerging Japanese motor industry on the worldwide market. Profusely illustrated with more than 600 black and white images, it provides the reader with an insight into the country, and the manufacturers, that were ultimately destined to become a dominant force in today's automotive marketplace.

This publication is a 'must have' resource for any Japanese motor vehicle enthusiast and an invaluable reference for the automotive historian. Many of the vehicles featured within are highly collectible today and many of those early manufacturers no longer exist or have been absorbed by the current Japanese automotive giants.
This publication has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market. We are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all automotive enthusiasts worldwide.

Legendäre japanische Sportwagen

Sportwagen entstehen nicht nur in Zuffenhausen und Maranello: Auch japanische Autohersteller haben in diesem Segment eine lange und erfolgreiche Tradition. Man denke nur an den futuristischen Mazda 110 S Cosmo, der 1967 mit Wankel-Technik begeisterte, und an den Toyota 2000 GT, mit dem James Bond in "Man lebt nur zweimal" durch das Land der aufgehenden Sonne raste.
Über die Jahrzehnte ist eine schier unüberschaubare Vielzahl von Modellen entstanden, die vom kleinen Zweisitzer bis hin zum Supersportwagen reicht.

Thomas Imhof geht in diesem liebevoll gestalteten Bildband auf die Suche nach den aufregendsten Japan-Karossen und lässt die asiatische Automobilgeschichte in atemberaubenden Fotografien lebendig werden.

  • Von Toyota 2000 bis Nissan GT-R: Geschichte und Hintergründe der besten Sportwagen aus Fernost
  • Kompakter Bildband mit über 100 Fotos bekannter und unbekannter Automodelle
