The City Turbo II is both one of my favorite bits of JDM forbidden fruit and the one I'm most likely to end up with (once I stop being so broke). It's the ultimate version of the first proper Mugen road car, engineered by Soichiro Honda's son, with a 110 horsepower turbocharged and intercooled engine pushing a mere 1600 pounds, good for a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds, which is not bad by today's standards and really fucking amazing for a supermini in 1984. It also has big-ass boxy fender flares and a digital dash, both of which makes everything better. This is easily the cleanest Turbo II I've seen, with the only visible mods being a set of wheels that look to be off of a more modern Honda and an aftermarket stereo, featuring rear speakers that say ADDZEST on them. I know that ADDZEST is what Clarion stuff is often sold as in Japan. I don't care. It's a goofy word and I'm going to giggle at it. ADDZEST!
It should be mine, but since it currently can't be, it can be yours for $10,890.

I agree, but finding one with a Motocompo isn't something that happens every day. There was a Turbo II in similar condition with a Motocompo on BAT a little while back that was selling for double what this one is. That goofy little scooter is worth as much as the car is.

I saw that one on BaT. Last year at the Japanee Classic Car Show here in Long Beach, someone had one out with the scooter.
I think I might like the scooter more than the car...

The scooter is awesome, and the best solution ever to how difficult parking is to find in Japan.

Why do I always browse Goo-Net for things I won't buy?
Eunos Cosmos' with the 20B ~300hp 3 rotor are only $10k-$20k now...

I know I have weird mental problems, but I'm more impressed with cars like this than I am with a Ferrarioghinniado 60000SLMPS whatever.

So am I, since creating a gonzo-superbutt-hypercar is relatively easy. Making a good small car is very, very difficult, and this is a very good small car that has been made incredible by a proper racing manufacturer.

Goo-Net addiction is a serious problem.
