I'm here in Japan at the moment and have seen a few interesting Deli things.
One was a Delica D2. It appears to be a mini version of the D5. I'm gonna try to
find more info or pics.
The other I saw at Osaka Train Stn of all places. I think the pic speaks
for itself.

You should go back and buy a coffee mug with their name on it. Heck I would buy one myself if they have them.
Cool find though. So how many Delica bits you bringing back with you?????

I think the pic is asking more questions.
That's a fast food joint, right? Why Delica? Did you ask them? Do they have a Delica? Is there another meaning to the word? What do they sell? Is it a chain station, or is it only one place? Do they sell complete shop manuals for the L300? How about coffee holders?

Here's a (rather goofy) Japanese ad for the D2

Didn't have time to go in as it was literally on the wrong side of the tracks.
From what I saw it is just a convenience store & deli. Hence the name. Anyone who has been
to Japan understands the mis-use of the English language.
Sorry but I'm not bring deli parts home. Bike bits maybe.
FYI: I've been on the lookout for a toy Deli. no such luck though.

Well I happen to come from the wrong side of the tracks and I can sing "I've seen tracks from both sides now..."
Man, if I made it to Japan I would go hang out at Mitsubishi's head office and see what kind of information I could glean from them, like a complete Starwagon shop manual in English or find accessory brochures/ links. Would love to pick the brains of the Gen III Starwagon design team. No pressure, just thinkin'.

We are back from Japan. We passed through Taipei, Taiwan on the way home. Had 9 hours to enjoy the city. In that time we saw 6 - count 'em - Six Delicas. One L400, the rest 300's. All LHD. This huge city park we walked through had the nicest ( Service vehicles - see green deli in pic) - they were slightly stretched and super clean.
Saw more there than in Japan (not too many older Deli's left there I think).
