Ye gods, what a plank.
Mirrors facing mirrors with his "it doesn't look like a Japanese car" (because he thinks it was designed by a German-born American). It was conceived, planned, styled, designed, engineered, developed and produced by Japanese people working for a Japanese company in Japan.
I guess he's welcome to think "it doesn't look like a Japanese car", but what does that actually mean? What *does* a Japanese car look like? I'd like to hear him rationalising that, especially as the guy he cites as its author never had anything to do with it.
Oh, and Goertz styled a couple of pens for Montblanc in the 60s and 70s. He didn't "create the Montblanc pen" (the company was founded in 1906) and this kind of hyperbole is typical of Goertz and his believers.

Oh, and about his car and the stories weaved around it...
'HBT 801L' seems fairly typical of many such cars. The owner talks about it as though there was a set formula for the cars that passed through the hands of 'Spike', but I'd say its much more likely that many of the custom details on the car in question were done long after any 'Samuri' connection (EG leather interior, really?).
