Whilst browsing some Japanese Blogs I cam across this rather unusual sight. I’m aware that Japan has a few french and Italian cars but I have never come across a completely Japanese looking Clio. What I mean by this is a white car wearing white what looks to be SSR type C’s with a beefy looking track tire. The car has an mean but OEM look and has been stripped with a full cage. Such an unexpected find! Oh and its LHD for some reason.
I remember Clarkson saying on one of his old shows when looking at Japan, that it is desirable in Japan to have a LHD. Well all the Yakuza guys drive LHD beemers and mercs. Its kinda like JDM for us, they want to have a pure euro exclusivity! So maybe same applies to this clio!
its actually called the Lutecia in japan lots of european cars were exported there but remained left hand drive. same applys to citroens and peugeot exported over there and they usually remain cleaner because they tend not to rust as much as they do here lol
