1/32 Owners Club Series
	This is a series of plastic model kits of Japanese microcars, all the models are 360cc or the later 600cc   Hondas.  They are produced by ARII in Japan in 1:32 scale.  Complete kits with windows, rubber tyres, decals and full instructions.  And if you are quick I have a spare one of each. (The descriptions are straight from the boxes.)
	The name "Daihatsu" became popular as manufacturers of 3-wheel cars in both pre-war and post-war days, and "Midget" was their best selling model at that time.  In 1951, a 3-wheel passenger car "Bee" mounted with a 804cc engine at the rear was put on the market, but it disappeared  within one year or so.  It was further improved, and in 1957, the new model "Midget" was completed.
	It was in 1957 when this model first appeared in the market.  It was a 3-wheel truck with a 2-cycle single cylinder engine.  This model sold well because of its special style and simplicity backed by TV advertisement.  Different from the old model which had a bar handle without any door, this new model had a round steering-wheel and doors.  The new model offered much better riding as well as handling comfort.  Owing to the best hit of this 3-wheel model, similar cars were introduced one by one by many other manufacturers.
	MIRA Walk-through van is improved version of the former "MIRA  sedan".  It was mounted with 32 horse power, 3- OHC 547cc engine.  Its style was so tall 1955mm height.  In 1984 a unique van "MIRA Walk-through van" was produced.
	The history of Mazda as a car manufacturer dates back to the early part of the Showa era.  It used to be called "Toyo Cork" and was then changed to "Toyo Kogyo."   First it produced rock drills, and started to make tricycle trucks in 1931.  A mini tricycle truck called "Mazda K360" was produced in 1958 and was as popular as the Daihatsu Midget.
	Mazda used to produce 3-wheel trucks, and the first passenger car made by Mazda was the model "Mazda R360 Coupe."  This model was with 4-cycle 356cc, air cooled 2-cylinder, 16hp engine, and the total weight was only 380kgs.  For this reason it could run at high speed.  The later model "Carol" was produced on the basis of this model.
	Honda was established in 1948, and since then,it kept introducing a lot of famous motor bikes.   The model "T360" was the first car that Honda produced.  It was called "Sport Truck" rather than " Light Truck."  It was mounted with a 354cc, 4-carb HOHC engine, and could make the maximum 30 hp.  Two months later the Honda Sport 500 was marketed.
	The model "Honda Sport 600" was marketed in 1964.  It was the improved version of the model "S500" equipped with the Japan-first DOHC engine, and was a highly efficient twin seat sport car.  Its body was similar to those of British light weight sport cars.  The interior of this model was full of the sport-car-type mood with the 4 sets of meters on an aluminium panel.  The words "11000 rpm" shown on the tachometer may give some ideas about the high efficiency of this model.
	The prototype of Honda N360 first appeared at the 13th Tokyo Motor Show in 1966, and gained great popularity as an innovative mini passenger car.  It had a two-box type body with a spacious saloon and was quite similar to the Mini Cooper in style.  It incorporated a front wheel FF-drive-power engine which was mounted in front of the front wheels.
	The model "Honda Z" used to be very popular for its special shape.  With a radiator grille projected toward the front and also with a sharply inclined wind-shield, it was more like a sport car.  It was mounted with a 2 cylinder OHC engine, and could make a maximum speed of 115 kmh with 31 hp.
	In 1960, the model "Mazda R360" was first introduced, but due to its limited number of seats, it was less popular as compared with other models.  The model "Mazda Carol" was an improved version of the Mazda R360.  This was a perfect 4-seat car with an upright rear window called cliff-cut.  A 4 cylinder engine was mounted on the rear sideways, and could make the maximum speed of 97kmh with 20h.p.
	The model "Subaru 360" with a nickname of "Ladybug" first appeared before the public in May 1960 as one of the reasonably-priced passenger cars.  The aircraft-construction technology was fully applied for the body of the model as shown on the oval-shape body.  The model was built as simple as possible, and became one of the best selling cars in Japan.
	Suzuki Frontier 360SS was debuted in November 1968.  This model mounted a LC10 engine, and was marketed as a sport-type car.  It was popular among young users, and was the first car that mounted 4-speed full-synchronous engine.
