The Honda N360 is a small front-engine, front-wheel drive, two-door, four-passenger car manufactured and marketed by Honda from March 1967 through 1970. Got to admit getting this for about $30US on the local ebay influenced me to buy, that and being from Hasegawa, a quality model maker. Comes out well, nice little model. Very small car, bit smaller than a Mini, as we can see when compared with FMs model.

A few of the Honda dealerships I deal with have these in there showrooms not for sale.  I remember back in the mid seventies one boss I had drove one of these and he constantly had problems with the electrical system.  Seemed like he was always working on it to get it to run.

Nice work Geoff, cool little car.  In the states this car was marketed as the Honda 600.  When I first saw one at the Auto Show, I couldn't believe how small the tires were and that the trunk lid was plastic.  They are nowhere to be found on the road today. It's amazing what Honda has become since this car was first introduced.

thanks Pete what also strikes me about it was how little similar car body types have changed. This Mazda 121 was on sale from 1996 to 2002.
