Britain and Japan were really close trading partners prior to the Second
World War, and most Japanese industry began by adapting British procedures
to Japanese circumstances. Thus, early Postwar Japanese cars are simply
British cars as they SHOULD have been built. Go over a late-model Nissan
or Honda product and you will still see far more echoes of British than US
technology.
