Pleasure. I thought I recognised the sort of "rising sun" emblem. I remember reading about them when they first came out....
Rarity in microcars is a sort of given. Probably, there are more solus examples of microcar production than any other sort of vehicle because they were often made by the archetypal crazed inventor in their garden shed in very low numbers. This one is doubly so because, unlike most micros that used pre-existing engines, this uses one that is also rather unusual. The belt drive is of the double pulley, one expanding one contracting, variable transmission type developed by Daf and, eventually, Ford. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks Mike. You nailed it.
