What you are looking at isn’t a kit car for a Jaguar Mark 2, it’s actually called the Viewt, made by Japanese car maker Mitsuoka Motors.
Where other manufacturers might try to add some retro touches to a new car model, Mitsuoka, instead, bases their lineup on pre-existing machines, and then tacks on as much retro styling as they can–often redesigning …
There is one down the street a mile away from me ,
I never knew who built them :)
The weirdest car company in Japan, maybe.
(Looks at a pic of an Oruchi again)
Yep. The weirdest.
My first thought was that it looked more British Car Faire than Radwood, and about 2 decades too soon. Seeing it with an '80s Japanese econobox interior and transverse four banger wasn't what I expected - it looked like it should have tweed upholstery, a plywood dash, and a tractor engine driving the rear wheels. :)
In reply to MadScientistMatt :
It kinda fits almost anywhere: Radwood, Cars & Coffee, British car day, Monterey, etc.
Viewt iful Joe.
