Few pics of my 76.

[Mike M]

Thought I'd stick some pics up of the 76 up the hills around me and playing in abit of snow up Glenshee a few weeks back.


The sunny ones are up Linn of Dee near Braemar.



A mate of mine directed me to an old coffin trail route which is an old right of way from Kilry to Kirton of Glenisla. Bit lumpy but nothing too serious.
And quick run up the Dundee law yesterday as I'd not been up in years.

Loving cruiser life
Booked a 4x4 driving course at Glentarkie this weekend and looking forward to stretching it's legs.

Nice looking cruiser there mike, not many of those in the uk. What engine does it have?
Would like to hear more about it

Would love to take my Cruiser up Glenshee but it's a long drive from Zim... I just have to settle for the Merc with some snow tyres next time I'm up in Blair. Not the same.
Hopefully they'll get a good season and I'll get some skiing..

Nice Cruiser Mike! A company local to me do direct Japanese imports, wonder if it would be worth seeing what they can find for me. Did you get this imported yourself or was it already UK registered?

Cheers Dave, I imported through japautoagent. Check out their YouTube page as they've helped folk bring a few into the UK now. Always worth a question to your local company but they might hike the price up for their cut if they're a dealer.

I'm hoping for the worst, coldest winter ever
To be fair they've had some good seasons recently just been raining in blair though.

That's a lovely cruiser - enjoy your 4x4 day!

Watching the JapAutoAgent's YT channel - I want one of these now...(I'll also need a driver too!)

Cheers , yeah looking forward to it. Might even get the lockers engaged

Those Vellfire's are stunning bits of kit, pricey though as i think they're over 60k to import. Paul that is Japautoagent is spot on to deal with and has contacts in the right places making it easy to import a car. hardest bit was the wait lol

Love the Japanese tho... d'you think Vell Fire was a typo for Hell Fire? Remember the Starion debacle hahaha!

Starion, now theres a rare sight these days. Didn't top gear have one?
I love my Japanese cars, had them for years. Regretted selling the jdm mkiv supra TT 6 speed. That thing could fly.

The fast cars were going to get me into trouble so decided on the cruiser. Id been looking at 80s and 100s for years off and on then i discovered the 76/79 series.

Any chance of putting that on a cruiser chassis now that would be a project
