Don’t know what the reserve is so can’t decide if the price is right!

Nice! I like it!

But it’s WAY too big for a Kei-car :)

Is it? Wheelbase if 5 inches shorter than a Honda City Turbo, and 6 inches shorter than an Autozam AZ-1...

Me neither, but judging by condition and rarity they probably think it’s worth a fortune.

Whether it actually is or not we’ll have to find out :)

Which is why it’s way too big... wheelbase doesn’t matter, but the size itself has to be respected :)

6 inches difference is massive on a car :).

Impossible to put a price on it. He needs two or more people who really, really want it.

The classic car business is weird with some worth very little and others a fortune.

Sub 10K Zagato design!? I’m in! The rear 3/4 looks like a Fulvia.

Nah it’s 5 inches the other way. 5 inches smaller!

The photos are deceptive, it’s a teeny-tiny little car :)

5000 pounds seems like a relatively low entry fee to the Zagato club. NP
