| Subaru R2 |
| The original Subaru 360 was totally redesigned in 1970 and became the R2. It still had the 360cc engine with 32 hp but now had the luxury of a fully synchronised 4 speed gearbox. Maximum speed was now up to 115 km/h (71mph). |  |

| Subaru is the trade name of the car sector of Fuji
heavy Industries. A group with interests as diverse as aircraft, shipbuilding, railways as
well as cars and light commercials. They still produce microcars, the 4wd
660cc Vivio. The model is by Tomica in 1:54 scale, No.9. My first example came in a 6 car set with various other large Hondas Toyotas etc although I have since seen a single issue of the model, but with the bonnet painted black, (looks awful) |

| There is also a dark blue metallic and a pale blue (shown). These
are specially made for a shop in Japan called 'Hochland', (the rest is in Japanese!) |
