Good car went to a great home. ’s dad bought this so he could enjoy a hobby and cruising around with his son. Cool dad.

Easily one of my favorite cars I’ve owned. Stoked that it will be driven and enjoyed more with them. No “replacement” car planned, I loved the Altezza…just taking a step back and enjoying less stress for now 💖

Last box from Japan for 2025 thanks to tariffs and burnout; VX1000 acquired. Middle school-me is stoked on this, my grail camera.

In typical VX fashion, the viewfinder is black and tape deck stuck 😅 sending off to VX experts for a good servicing. Don’t always trust YAJ ads, especially for “tested” electronics.

Would love to hear personal experience re: tapeless and other VX things. Original plan was to stick to tapes, might not now.

Can’t wait to film with this soon. Have a great weekend 🌞

In no rush, I do not need to sell. 50/50 chance I will delete this ad and keep the car, I’ve just lost interest/motivation to do car stuff. Purchased the car in June; was originally imported by (FL).
