1993 Horex OSCA HCE1057 w/ 2860 mi / 4771 km.

One of two available for sale in Japan - easy worldwide shipping available.
More info: https://sodo-moto.com/listings/horex-osca-644-2/

Rare and interesting motorcycle and cautionary tale from the Japan bubble economy.

Designed and engineered by CK Design, a small Tokyo-area engineering studio founded by former Honda engineer Kazuo Sasaki (佐々木和夫).

While the idea of a Horex premium single sportbike originated in Germany, the motorcycle was engineered and built in Japan. The chromoly trellis chassis housed a 644cc RFVC single cylinder from the Honda NX650 Dominator. Suspension was high-specification Showa front forms with Nissin brakes.
The ultimate thumper sportbike of its day and priced accordingly at nearly ¥3.5million – at that time over $30k USD.

1998 Mini Paul Smith Edition VIN: SAXXNWAXKWD161729

For sale in Seattle WA $10,750
More info: https://sodo-moto.com/listings/rover-mini-38/

The Rover Mini Paul Smith Edition represents one of the most distinctive final chapters of the Classic Mini—where British automotive heritage intersects with late-1990s design culture.
One of just1,800 examples worldwide, this example was delivered new to Japan and is in nice condition showing 47,210 miles (76,140 km). Signature Paul Smith Blue finish and the contrasting citrus-green accents found throughout the glovebox, engine bay, and luggage compartment—subtle but intentional details that reflect Paul Smith’s design philosophy.
Original Rover Mini bound folio, along with the factory jack and tool kit.

Exterior
Finished in Paul Smith Blue over anthracite alloy wheels. The paint presents well overall with no visible rust. Weathered paint in the hood and some paint loss on the roof. The gold-filled Paul Smith bonnet badge remains intact—an identifying hallmark of the model.

Interior
The interior is in excellent condition and features the higher-specification Paul Smith trim, including black leather upholstery and the signature green glovebox lining. Cabin presentation is clean and consistent with the car’s mileage and use.

Engine & Drivetrain
Powered by the 1275cc SPi engine paired with an automatic transmission. The car retains the characteristic light, responsive driving feel of the late-production Mini, making it equally suitable for urban use or casual weekend driving. Automatic transmission reverse is weak. Works fine normally but backing up-hill from stationary the car struggles. I’d say change the oil regularly and live with it….

1985 Renault 5 Turbo2 - one of a few Renault we’ve been able to secure this trip for export to TX / MX.

Interestingly - this was a grey-market import into the USA before making its way to Japan. I love these cars and this one should be a nice project for our client at a nice price.
