Default What Is It?

They had this in a dealership this morning. Couldn't resist looking at it. It just came in for someones collection. According to the svc mgr There are only 2 of these in the US. This one was brought in from Canada. I had no clue.

My guess is British, since the RHD. Is it missing the back window or is it removable? Kinda weird. Oh wait, that's part of the whole top that comes our or folds back.

Definitely a Japanese ripoff of a small French car.

Yup. We have one locally that they bring out every year for Cruisin' the Coast. Cute as a bug. I think there are way more than two in the U.S. They've been eligible to import for, what, six years now?
