I've asked this before and had no replys.

What is this hatch for?

Hmm What to Say, after living in Japan for a year and driving every possible classic Japanese car I desired, I can feel for the owner of this car, yes it is awsome and feels like most other exotic mid sixties sports cars, it is smooth (not to fast with only 150hp) and clean to drive but also a little tight if you are much taller than 6 foot. There were only 334 of them made and they are predominantly a hand built car with a yamaha 2 litre six cylinder engine. There design was quite revolutionary for the time in that they consist of a chassis that is very similar to a lotus with a centre I beam running through the middle of the car (at one stage it held the production car 24hr speed record). So what is it worth well in Japan you can pick one up for around $100,000 - $150,000 AUD depending on the exchange rate, So I guess let the public be the judge. Nissan around the same time produced a totally hand built car in the SILVIA, 49 came to Australia, and 554 were produced in total. Yet they are only worth $12000 at most. The problem is that no matter how we look at it if either of these cars were Ferrari's or BMW's they would be worth a hell of a lot more. Even though "twice as much thinking went into both cars"

By the way that hatch is for the battery

Everything of any value comes from Europe. Everyone knows this! After all the Europeans have been doing (fill in the blank) for hundreds of years before the Americans or Asians were. This goes for cuisine, wine, furniture, architecture, religion, literature, art....you name it! Oh, yeah, and cars! Face it: Eurocentrism and 'American Iron' ways of thinking drive classic automobile values. These little Jap things--they are just little econo-boxes. They're not REAL automobiles! The Japanese are just great copiers, right? Who cares if they just look around them and create marvelously efficient products to replace the over-priced, balky, glam products we have been force-fed as 'home-bred status quo'. To wit: From a Magnavox, a Sony. From a Rolex, a Seiko. From a Mercedes, a Lexus.........
