Eddie,
 
Indeed they were - I've only ever seen a Contessa at a motor museum in Victoria somewhere, could have been Echuca. I've found an article about the BRE years with Hino. The road cars were pretty ordinary, but some of the racing stuff was very advanced for it's time. Interesting to read that Brock's Samurai was disqualified from the Japanese GP for being too low.
 
 
regards
Terry

Weren't Hino cars pretty closely related to rear engined Renaults? There is a Hino Contessa in the Science Museum in London. Quite a pretty looking thing ...looks a bit like a Corvair from the front.

Correct but no prize unfortunately.
 
Damn, I thought that one might get some left field guesses before the correct answer came up.
You can't imagine how bad a Hino car was, they make brilliant trucks though.
