DOCUMENTARY - In a three-part video series entitled Life & Times of Mr. K, Yutaka Katayama is portrayed throughout his eighty-year career. Watch the documentary.

 

 

Tomo, I edited your link to point at the documentary on our own site.  This will prevent any broken links in the future.  Thanks.

 I think it's really neat that a newspaper across the World points out something important at CZCC.

^^^^ Thanks for sharing , I do like the  S -type designation , it makes the Z a special GT.

 

Uhm in Dutch it says Z types.. maybe Google translated it wrong.

S-type sounds fine to me...  S, as in S30.

I thank you very much Mr. K.

My life is so enjoyable because I have Zs.

I miss you so much.

Excellent. Best tribute I've seen yet.

What a great tribute... 

It would be nice to see a tribute car.

50th anniversary of his S30 in 4 years.... fingers crossed.
