Hello From Japan!
We just got back from a 4 week trip to Sendai, Japan, the 12th largest city at over one million. I had only been there two days when on a walk and here comes, God Save The Queen, one absolutely mint Austin-Healey Sprite Bugeye (1960? .... my brother owned a new yellow one way back), top down, 50 degrees and sunny. It was a gorgeous deep red driven by a Japanese man. I gave him two big thumbs up and he waved back and smiled. One minute later stopped at the signal light is a red Alfa 156. I showed him the wallet photo of my Giulia and he gave me a big smile. Several minutes later across the intersection and in a parking lot is a red 159. See photos below. Wow, the Italian Gods are looking down on me! A few days later I spot one more 159, mid gray.
After a long dry spell of several weeks, in 5 minutes two AR's passed by. Both were red and I think perhaps Mito's (?), see photos below.
Things were looking up as I intended to visit the new Afla Romeo Sendai dealer. We stopped by on Thursday of the week before we returned home. Very excited!

They are apparently a multi line dealer with Peugeot, Ferrari and Volvo stores side by side.
