Photos Unboxed: The AE86 From Japan Without a Plan
A Glitch in the simulation! Seeing this car on the other side of the world in Ireland, what are the odds?. What’s incredible is we made a friend in the process! Danny Gave it socks in last nights video before he went home. His Corolla was the first AE86 we spotted in Japan back in 2016, and it was surreal to see it once in our recent video.
I got a message out of the blue one night, and it was a guy called Danny from Wexford. He had watched our first Japan video, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. His very own 86, which he had recently imported, had just driven past us on the motorway in our feature-length “Japan without a plan.”
He said he had to watch it back a few times to make sure, but the car had the same focus racing wheels, the very same mark on the rear bumper, the aerial on top, and the Budonoki sticker’s outline on the rear boot glass.
After he reached out and sent a few photos, I had to get him down for a closer look. Out of all the cars in the world and all the different variations of ae86 he could have picked in the auctions, the one he ended up winning was the first Corolla we spotted in Japan! Absolute insanity
Here are a few photos from that Day Danny called down, with arguably one of the cleanest rust free good looking Corollas we had seen in a long time!
I love the fact he gave it hell before leaving on the back tyres. What a legend.
