Funny you should mention that, my brother's mate used to own a Suzuki Capacino (itty bitty teeny tiny Suzuki roadster thingee from the 90s), and that's how he transported it from Melbourne to Sydeny when he moved!

puddingwrestler Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 You might be suprised to know it's actually available as a model (which is not much smaller than the real thing I might add!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 The little car in the picture is the very first car from Mazda, a 1960(?) R360 Coupe DeLuxe. Not really sure of the model year... the source labels this one as a 1962, but as far as I can see it looks pretty much the same as the 1960 model, which is what most of you said it was. Could be the photo was mislabeled. Anyway, from the source: Having started as a cork factory, the first roadable products of the Toyo Kogyo group from Hiroshima in 1931 were motorbikes and three-wheeler vans. The first car prototype was developed in 1940, though it took another 20 years before mass production could start. Along with the entire Japanese car industry, the development of Mazda then took off at truly breathtaking speed. The first model in 1960 was the R-360 (the number indicates the capacity), a coupe that survived until 1970. In 1962, the slightly larger Carol (available with 360 and 600 cc) followed, a car that was similar to the Ford Anglia and had a reverse-angle rear window. In 1964 a convertible complemented the series. One of the reasons Mazda became known in Germany was because of its takeover of the Wankel rotary piston license in 1961 and is still faithfully using and developing this particular combustion engine technology today.

puddingwrestler Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 As mentioned earlier, there is a model of it. Arii (sometimes under the Micro Ace brand) produce on in thier 1/32 Owner's Club range. It's available in it's stock form, racing form, and porbably police form, as most of the Owner's Club range are available as police and taxi versions. Here's a link to the race version. As you can see, the model is tiny. Really tiny. I have one of the larger Mazda Carols, and it's under 10cm long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
