When was the last time you saw one of these? (Honda N700 content)

These popped up on my local classifieds. 3 cars, 4 engines for $700. I wish I had a place to put them (and spare time for another project)!

So, it's a Mini Cooper without the British reliability?

N700? or N600?

Those tiny alloys are too cool.

In reply to ebonyandivory:

Pretty much. Last time I saw one was a couple years ago when a GRMer went balls out building one for the challenge.

There was a build where a guy was using a Honda V-4 motorcycle engine and making one rear wheel drive. It looked like it could be done with minimal body alteration. Anybody know if it ever got completed?

This past Saturday at the Pick Your Part in Wilmington, CA

There's a guy on the Locost USA site building something you might like:

I remember a Chevy dealer who also signed up to sell the early Honda cars on a whim. When they didn't sell he tried a gimick I've not seen before or since. He lined up all his 3/4 pickups in a row out front with a Honda in the bed of each one. He offered the truck buyer to throw in the Honda at "his cost" in case the buyer's truck ever had a problem, he'd have a "spare!"

Yes that's a true story! The dealership was Pendegrass Chevrolet in St. Matthews Ky.

Last time I saw one - actually it was two - they showed up at the San Diego autocross event but didn't participate. That's probably a good thing because both had been modified significantly, with cut-off roofs and had a cross section of the car between the back of the front seats and the rear panel removed, effectively shortening the car by like, a lot.

The driver could, without trying, reach back and check the exhaust mixture if he chose. The resulting wheelbase had to be less than 50", maybe less. They looked like a pair of matching rollerskates and must have been scary as hell to drive on the freeway. Much like these from the web... oy.

I don't think I have -ever- seen one before
