There is one of those for sale at the moment in Japan. About 2k US. Im sorely tempted but focussed on my 34..

GN's and 3 wheelers!! My favorites.

 

Interesting build; lots of eyeballing when fitting up. 50cc wouldn't cut it for me.

Its a legal work around here in Japan to get them plated. Above that triggers a world of woe. Im sure guys are putting bigger engines in them just as we do with the Honda Cubs......

 

I didn't think of that issue. I went through a lot of trouble to register my JZR build. Even 50cc will be fun to drive.

 

Have you seen this one?

 

Wow, no I have not seen that one before; fabulous!!

The 1965 Subaru 360

 

Volpe was a story told many times. People have dreams but can't make them happen. Tucker did it here but got screwed by Detroit.
Love the Subaru!!

 

Here's another for you fred, I know it ain't a cyclecar but thought you'd like it anyhoo

 

There is an old film here on the HAMB with that TALBOT on the Dry Lakes.
