| Prince R380 represents the best from Japan in the Mid-Sixties 
Posted by Terry Shea - Prince R380 at the 2017 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. All photos by Terry Shea. The recent Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance featured a Japanese Prototype class, a first in a major U.S. concours as best we can tell. The field included the Mazda 787B, the only Japanese car to score an overall win at the hard-fought and prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
