I’m person Hakone 86 is pretty green. Not sure you can say legit British Racing Green... maybe few tone darker.

Didn’t have time to take a lot of pics, but here are few.

You may be right, but, it's pretty darn close to my old MG.

There were several variations of "BRG", depending on the car and the year -

Haha yeah, think of it as forest green, but metallic flakes to change the dark green to lighter green (depends on lighting)

As for the interior, it’s pretty bright orange/tan interior. But it works well w the green.

WTF, no Brembo's, I though all LE's had them?

I wonder what spec we will get, if the green comes here?

Meh. Over rated ricer fanboy crap anyway.

I really dislike the 86 front end but it suits this colour perfectly

All of the black plastics look better. The bronze wheels look really good too.

I had a chance to talk w Toyota rep who’s in charge of 86 (in US). I did mention that to him, so maybe... just maybe it might come.

Also along w other things he should of added. But that’s a different story.

Strange, they are the only thing I rated from the performance package.

I'm very impressed with their performance, for a budget set of Brembo's anyway.

So far, rain, hail or shine, I have never had any fade and the pedal is very progressive.

Opinions may vary

LOL
It was a sort of an inside joke based on where I work and what we make.

Three wheels... I certainly hope you are working on a Reliant Robin build.

So this car looks beautiful, and I already tried calling around locally but my local dealerships didn't seem to be able or willing to help me out with a reservation or preorder.
How difficult do you imagine it will be to obtain one of these given the limited nature?

Anyone have a guesstimation on what the MSRP is going to be?
