25.01.2022 Happy Friday Sunny fans and it doesn't get much better than this..... 1973 GX5 1200 5 speed fully restored coupe with some really nice old school upgrades. Dealer is price on application so it won't be a bargain but can ask for anyone who is looking for a Sunny coupe. MHSV specialists in rare & collectible JDM.

24.01.2022 Happy days finally it has arrived. It took 3 months via sea but at only 2,000 yen total postage who's complaining? I called Nissan Australia to order a new shift knob for my clients Australian delivered GTR only to be told no longer available. I telephoned our long term new parts supplier in Japan & they told me a different story. To my pleasant surprise, Nissan Japan can still supply R32 GTR shift knobs. It pays to ring around but it does help if you speak Japanese!!

24.01.2022 Big thanks to Dave at Gaugeworks in Prospect SA for repairing & servicing another instrument cluster for us. They always come back looking like new & turnaround is usually only a 3-5 days. Price is also extremely reasonable considering the work carried out. See details attached if interested. Great job Dave thank you.

24.01.2022 Seeing is believing!!! Always searching for low kilometre special vehicles & you won't believe what I just found.....Highly sought after Honda S2000 (January 2000 first registration) in like new condition (graded 4.5 A) with a genuine 976 kms. Incredible!! Dealer asking price will also blow your mind, 6,425,000 yen or AUD75k to buy in Japan. Looking for something special contact Mark & let the search begin.

23.01.2022 Stunning beautifully restored 75 2002 sold & on it's way to NZ. Big thanks to Adam at Eye Candy for doing his magic, Harrison from Dynamic for carefully loading the car & safely moving it to the holding yard before being exported by Nick at Dolphin Shipping. Great teamwork thanks guys. MHSV specialists in rare old school cool.

23.01.2022 Absolute SURVIVOR 1978 Nissan Bluebird SSS with very low genuine mileage (just over 100,000 kms) & no accident history. Asking price shown & very reasonable all things considered. Stupidly rare in this condition. Contact Mark for further information or to organise an inspection. MHSV specialists in rare & great condition JDM

22.01.2022 They say good things come in small packages.... here's proof. Stunning Renault 5 Turbo 2 in what appears to be very good condition. Original factory wheels have been replaced with possibly genuine Watanabe but otherwise this example looks mostly factory original. Price is on application or ASK according to the dealer. Japan, so many rare & unique cars to choose from. Contact Mark anytime to discuss your wish list. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable sports cars.

21.01.2022 First business trip in ages. Border restrictions finally easing. Flew to Canberra yesterday to inspect and buy a gorgeous 2 owner Australian delivered BMW 2002 4 speed in rare Turkis. Seller was a great guy & the car was exactly as described. Was very tempted to drive the car home but CEVA depot to depot is only $460 & rain set in so went with them. MHSV Specialist in old school euro & JDM

21.01.2022 Bought this rare 1974 Lancer 1400GL coupe in very good condition for age just recently for an Australian client. Contact Mark & let him know what special vehicle is on your wish list & we can start the search. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.

21.01.2022 Excited to see a Renault 5 Turbo 2 up today in Tokyo but then suddenly disappointed after reading auction report to see its had a basic resto/paint job for the auction more than likely. Originally not red & there is extensive rust in floor & front compartment. No books or history. I see others have posted this car & described it as "beautiful" which is a worry. Beautiful to look at for sure but MHSV will not be recommending this Turbo 2.

21.01.2022 Just sold a clients very original 1980 924 Turbo to a Sydney buyer. An Adelaide delivered Turbo having spent all its life here will spend the next chapter of its life in NSW. MHSV sourcing & selling special vehicles.

18.01.2022 Geez went for a drive in one of these the other day. The modern day definition of a "pocket rocket" if you can get one!!! Good luck there, all sold out. Next batch, all sold out. All demonstration models NOT for sale. Toyota nicely controlling the market which they did with the 86 when first released. Be patient & you will be rewarded.....

17.01.2022 Just purchased this beautifully maintained Celica GT-FOUR. As with all MHSV vehicles the car has no accident history, full docs/log books and has only travelled 54,000 kms from new. We work hard to find & buy one owner pristine cars like this. MHSV - specialists in rare & special JDM. Contact Mark anytime to talk about your dream car. M0421011054

17.01.2022 Great condition Nissan Stagea Autech 260 RS are getting harder to find. Described by some as the ultimate JDM wagon here is a grade 4.5 example with low mileage & dealer asking is good too. Contact Mark if interested. Auction report & asking shown. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.

15.01.2022 SEXY SX for sale in non accident grade 4 condition. 1982 model AE70 Corolla coupe with fab Watanabe alloys & dealer asking is very reasonable at 1.7M yen. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.

15.01.2022 Toyota Celica 2000GTV 1976 model with extremely low mileage, no accident history & original very clean interior for sale. It’s not cheap but probably very good buying long-term. Dealer asking 3.6 million which is not surprising due to condition and only 54,000 kms. As always Nakajima san would need to verify all on inspection but great looking car especially with wheels supplied by Watanabe. MHSV specialists in rare & special JDM.

13.01.2022 A big thanks again to Frank at Willshires for his usual high standard of work re-upholstering seats for another clients 2002. Willshires attention to detail is incredible & they would arguably be one of the best motor trimmers here in SA.

13.01.2022 Crazy....look at the condition & mileage of this 1972 Deluxe of deluxe station wagons. 7 seater MS62 Crown Deluxe wagon with as usual NO repair history & only 56,000 kms from new. All verifiable, call Mark for further information. MHSV specialists in rare & exceptional JDM. https://www.goo-net-exchange.com//7000402400301/index.html

13.01.2022 Check out this monster....

12.01.2022 Highly recommend this car. Currently this is below auction pricing. 1990 ST185 GT-FOUR with only 116,210 kms from new & NO accident history. Genuine grade 4 car with dealer asking 1.85M yen. In 3 years you will look back & say damn I should have bought that Celica. Contact Mark for further information. We only recommend really good cars. 30 years excellent track record. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.

12.01.2022 Recently received a like from the guys at Ojiisan Classics & found some fascinating content on their page. Check it out if you haven't already. Had to share some of Ojiisan's Russian Porn

11.01.2022 Big day Thursday in Tokyo buying a couple of really rare cars but unfortunately was unsuccessful in securing this stunning 1995 NSX in factory manual. Kilometres were low at only 50,000 & condition was a genuine grade 4.5. As you can imagine, competition was intense. Final sale price for future reference was just over 9M yen or approximately AUD 120k to own in Japan. Someone bought well. MHSV - rare & special JDM.

11.01.2022 Always get excited when a grade 4 TME EVO pops up for auction but grade 4 is actually quite broad & it certainly does not mean good condition as is the case with this EVO. A quick look at the auction report tells all & one of the reasons we always include the report. EVO fans will know floors on these cars can be prone to rust, generally if the cars have come from the northern regions of Japan which sees a lot of snow & sadly salt is used on the major roads networks. If you... look at the report & read the warning/problem section on the bottom left it says 3rd from the bottom.... -underbody suspension heavy rust & black paint. -Tyres for snow application -I can also see clear coat issues on the bonnet & W3 on left side means obvious re-spray We do not consider this a grade 4 & would not recommend this car.

09.01.2022 Mini fans this Sprite is for sale & being a 1995 model it can be imported now. Condition looks particularly good & we wouldn't be surprised if very few Sprites were produced. This is likely a very limited production run edition & this example has only travelled 10,000 kms from new. Equipped with factory 4 speed and cool aftermarket 10 inch alloys & in rare white. Dealer asking is just over 2M yen which is not bad considering the condition & very low mileage. Can arrange inspection for anyone interested. MHSV specialists in rare and special vehicles. M0421011054

09.01.2022 Inspected this 510 1800SSS Bluebird recently which looked good from a distance but on inspection was far from good. Advised client to wait for a better car.

08.01.2022 Honda die hards..... Very clean grade 4B Integra Type R sedan up for auction later today in Tokyo. Mileage just over 100,000 kms & condition looks very good. Start price very reasonable at 580,000 yen. Contact Mark asap if interested in placing a bid. Still have time to inspect and verify condition. It's a (January) 1997 model & has books & excellent service history records. MHSV feel this could be very good buying!!!

08.01.2022 Wow what incredible luck Romain Grosjean was able to walk away from this massive accident in just the first lap of the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix. Miracles do happen!!

08.01.2022 Celica fans...1979 TA45 GT Rally up for sale in very good condition & no accident history. Asking appears to be 1.8M yen but can verify if anyone wants to find out more. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.

07.01.2022 For all you Lancer nuts this rare beast sold in Nagoya today for just over 3M yen which is very reasonable all things considered. It was a NON accident car & sadly it will be a while before we see another genuine GSR coupe in this condition. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.....

06.01.2022 Can highly recommend AAA Exhausts here in Adelaide. They do high quality work & not expensive. Thanks Drew for sorting out new rear hangers/mounts for the custom exhaust on the 2002. Great job!!

06.01.2022 Wow team check this out. For sale is a Japan delivered 1983 S1 Golf 2 door in OUTSTANDING grade 4B condition & with very low verifiable mileage. Auction report included as usual. Sure it is an auto but that has probably saved its life & these things in this condition are now very very thin on the ground. Timing belt has been changed & interior is like new. Call Mark for more info. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable jdm & golfs :) Asking price is 1.48M yen.

05.01.2022 Filthy dirty but safely landed & cleared this Integra is possibly the lowest mileage example anywhere. Rarely used the 1.6L 5 speed has only done 10,000 kms since new. It's amazing what you can find in Japan!!

04.01.2022 MHSV inspected this MG RV8 on Thursday & condition was good & as per the inspection report. The car had obviously been substantially modified. They can rust at the base of the steel front window frame but this one had not. Mark knows these well, having exported close to 30 RV8s to both the UK & Australia. Hard to find now and surprisingly this one sold for more than a stock standard car. Final sale price was just over 2M yen.

04.01.2022 One (1) owner GT-FOUR with a mind blowing low mileage of only 25,000 kms up for sale. Super rare yellow & auction grade 4.5 so this is a stunning car. Asking price shown is actually reasonable all things considered. It doesn't get much better than this. Build date is 1995 so MHSV can import & deliver this unique & very desirable ST205 to your driveway in about 6 weeks from time of purchase. Contact Mark for further information. MHSV specialists in rare & collectable JDM.

03.01.2022 Wow this is special..... here's one for all you Europaphiles looking for something very unique. For sale is a genuine 1968 Lotus 47GT with to die for provenance & race history. It has also been fully & professionally restored so asking won't be for the faint hearted but happy to contact the dealer & ask. Car currently in Japan. MHSV specialists in rare and collectable vehicles.

03.01.2022 Here is an "insanely" good looking car. Renault's design team excelled with the Clio V6. This sold last week. Contact Mark anytime if you are interested in similar. MHSV specialists in rare & unique special vehicles.

03.01.2022 Very cool 69 Corolla coupe for sale in exceptionally good condition for age & oh, what a feeling. Dealer asking price included & this is a non accident car with no rust issues. Contact Mark for further information. MHSV specialists in rare and collectable JDM.

02.01.2022 Tough looking GTiR up tomorrow but unfortunately condition not good. Basically a Track Rat & would be huge fun on a circuit but very rough around the edges. Auction report included.

01.01.2022 Almost secured this grade 4 Mazda AZ-1 for a long term client but unfortunately no prizes for second place in this game. For all you Mazda fans who are interested sale price was 1,685,000 yen or approximately AUD 22k to buy at the auction. Nice car!!!

01.01.2022 1984 Nissan Skyline TI L sedan 5 speed for sale.... FJR30 1.8L model is in exceptional condition with genuine very low verifiable milage and is original with many factory options. Car comes with service history and only 112,500 kms from new. Timing belt has been changed and car is in excellent mechanical order. This vehicle has no accident history (grade 4) & is completely rust free. Possibly one of the cleanest and nicest low mileage early model skyline sedans anywhere.

Car is located in Adelaide SA. Asking is only $11,000 & will come with 3 months registration.
