Microcar + four on the tree = win? The seller claims this is the only Minica in the US, but I don’t know how to verify that. I can say I’ve never seen one.
Apparently, this was a Japan market microcar and lasted a few generations. This was the first, however, and this sedan was related to a pickup launched one year earlier. All were powered by two-cylinder, two-stroke, air cooled engines. The seller says this one runs and that’s about all the info provided. Microcars are hot, but what about ones almost no one has ever heard of? $10K isn’t dirt cheap, but it’s not remotely crazy in today’s market, either.

Quirky minicar styling, Japanese style! I see some Austin America here, but the cars came out at about the same time.
Notchback is barely notched, resulting in a comical trunk.
As I was saying…
Mmm-hmm.
RHD, of course, and a tiny cockpit.
Seats appear to be in good shape.
Apparently, there’s an engine under that spare and it breathes through the blue air cleaner.
