Click the google maps link below then take a look around the dusty abandoned mainly British imported classic cars including several Mk1 Mini's in this ProAuto showroom in Japan, make sure you also go round the side road corner and look in the side windows of the showroom too......(May 2012)......anyone know if they are all still there?

How can it all just get abandoned?

 

It is certainly a huge site!

Rumour has it that all three floors are/were filled with classic cars when the previous owner ceased trading some time ago they sold the lot to the current owner. The whole site has sadly been mothballed ever since........perhaps the new owner of the property does not care or realise what cars they are! :ohno:

The red Mini inside showroom with the JAN 4 numberplate is a historic and valuable early 1960's Janspeed racer which once belonged to Jan Odor, if it is the genuine article........
