This Z-car has joined my Japanese hoard

As a lad, Declan Lawrenson's poster cars were Japanese: Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline, Mazda RX-7, Honda NSX...

- JOHN EVANS

He hasn't owned any of them yet but is planning to, one day. However, he does own a Mazda Eunos (the Japanese-spec Mk1 MX-5) and a Honda Integra Type R 'DC5', while his girlfriend has a Toyota GT86, which, he says, also feels like his: "She didn't have a driving licence when she bought it, so I stepped in and helped her choose it. It was the least I could do." What a gentleman.

Of the cars he owns, the Integra is Declan's favourite, but it is currently in the paint shop being resprayed. The Eunos is fun to drive, but Declan had been hankering after something more modern and powerful – and rear-wheel drive.
