Was at the Tokyo Camping Car Show at Makuhari Messe last Sunday, 2nd Feb.  A really popular event, even with tickets had to queue more than thirty minutes to get in.

In Japanese motorcaravans are called camping cars.  Most of the vehicles on show were motorcaravans, but a few, mostly imported caravans.  Caravans are not so common in Japan as in Britain, probably because they have to be registered with their own numbers, are taxed and in most places need a registered parking space.

Was very taken with the many tiny but beautifully formed motorcaravans based on the minuscule home market 660 cc vans and trucks.

     A tad far to travel from Crewe though, V, but I am still, on occasion, to be found ogling up anything resembling the " Bambi " motorvan I had for seven years.  All 970 c.c.s of it if I recall correctly and based on the Bedford Rascal -  a re-badged Suzuki SuperCarry with a body by Autohomes.

    Now I'll go and check those photo's again !!
