Jun 13, 2018
Beaulieu’s Simply Japanese is shaping up to be a supersize celebration of all Japanese cars with as many as 35 clubs and 550 cars already booked to attend the rally on Sunday July 29th.
One of the biggest Simply rallies in the Beaulieu events calendar, the cars on show in the grounds of the National Motor Museum will range from luxury saloons and cheerful camper vans to economy hatchbacks and high-powered performance cars, with all types and ages of Japanese cars on display.
The Z Club of Great Britain will be flying the flag for the classic Datsun and Nissan ‘Z’ sports cars, while Del Sol UK will be showcasing the open-top Honda CR-X, Mighty 5s will be celebrating the much-loved Mazda MX-5, the Herts Scooby Crew will be parking up in their Subarus and Mazda Bongo Owners’ Club members will be settling down for a relaxing day in their camper vans.
Look out for the Accord Type R Owners’ Club, the MkIV Supra Owners’ Club and the Nissan 200SX Owners’ Club, not to mention the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ Drivers’ Club and Japanese car group Kuruma Shakai. All will be celebrating the diversity of cars built in the land of the rising sun, with participating drivers able to park their cars in the colourful line-up to chat to like-minded enthusiasts, compare vehicles and explore all of the features of the Beaulieu attraction.
