It's like a bad ass JDM lady bug.

But this rear perplexes me. In the good way.

Looking at this interior view, I'm inclined to say this isn't a four seater, but a 2+dungeon

I wonder what the view is like from the driver's seat

the side view is so redolent of this, but I think they did a much better job by integrating the glass back in the hump. Love it

Bszoku guys really love X-1 rear lights and they are really sought after. Price estimate for a pair was nearly $900.

Ohhhh the GT2 memories of this car. So little and naive about this fine piece of machinery.

Probably no worse than today's modern midsize sedans with their high belt lines to look more "sporty." Except this looks better of course. Everything looks better with steelies, in my opinion.

Thought of that too but forgot the name. Europa. Okay. Lotus soo many E-names soo much lightness.

I love the Cherry...

I really like the fact such a tiny little engine is running twin SU's!

The hood mirrors balance out the design so perfectly

I used to service a Datsun Cherry 100A 2-door back when I was a mechanic (About 8 years ago). One careful, old lady, owner since new in the same gorgeous baby-excrement color and hubcaps as this one:

I've never seen one before or since and she was not at all interested in selling it.

I like that the carbs look as big as the engine itself
