Hmmm. Air-cooled? Check. Horizontally opposed? Check. That's sounds like somebody's hot-rodded little red wagon. A wagon with a 140, 4-speed, gas shocks and...
I ended up with a 67 Corsa by not remembering that it was a 65. I always "had a thing" for small four place convertibles, from the Triumph Herald to the...
Toyota tried to dodge the exhaust fume issue on the S800's with a gas heater, but for those on the list who have never owned another brand of air-cooled car,...
http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?title=Front_Disc_Brakes I recently found this article on upgrading KE1X and KE2X brakes. It doesn't say how to upgrade...
As some of you know, the mufflers are in & i've begun sending them out to those that placed an order. If I haven't contacted you yet, I will in a few days. I...
I have been thinking that maybe we should come to agreement on a statement on this site before we post it to Wikipedia? So here is a start. Have at it! The...
Minor proposed modifications, with reference to the limited production of LHD cars, and changing "cooler" to air conditioning. ... debuted at the 1962 Tokyo...
Someone is a born Writer !!! Rich, that is terrific, You have hit all the highlights without getting into the nuts and bolts. It also shows you are very...
Good suggestions Matt, I agree, especially the "cooler" change. From what I've seen so far the number of LHD cars might best be determined by the numbers that...
Terrific idea Rich! It is a great start, including Matt's revisions. I made a few of my own revisions, mostly to the layout. See what do you guys think... The...
Good stuff. Should there be any reference to the 2000GT? And note <http://www.oldcar.co.za/class/1966_Toyota_800/template.htm> says " Introduced in 1965 the...
Matt, The Miki Press book says total production of 3,057! Somebody must have taken a few back! I vote the use of the word "approximately." Rich ... ...
Hi all, The entry's looking great! Good job, you guys. A minor nit though: The 1961 Triumph TR4 had a targa top, though the name didn't come into widespread...
Rich, what are you, a lawyer or sumthin? Great solution, in these days of the internet being a source of untrue information. (In the spirit of Wiki, perhaps a...
The Miki Press book says: 1965 - 1,235 (696) 1966 - 633 (182) 1967 - 532 (166) 1968 - 422 (64) 1969 - 235 (34) For a total of 3057. It is interesting that the...
I think the use of 'approximately' is a good thing, although the official records I received from the Toyota archives in Japan say total of 3131: 1965 - 1235...
Rich, can you scan and send the Miki Press information. I do not speak Japanese, but that is what I have a son for. I can not imagine that over half of the...
Will do. Off the board. As soon as I get a chance. Seems the boss wants me to do some work today ;-) The latest car in the Japanese registry is 13125 so seems...
Ciao Roberto, I have an 800 that has the paperwork to show it came from New Guinea, before New Zealand. How it got to New Guinea is a mystery. How is that new...
I can also assist with the occasional Japanese translation as my wife is a native speaker. Incidentally,I exchanged emails with the seller's rep in SA. He...
My understanding is that he does not own the car. The way I heard it is he lists cars for sale and then takes offers to the owners. Some nice pictures, but not...
Matt, While it's not the Miki press data, I did upload the data I received from Japan when I inquired with Toyota. Thanks go to Hiromi Nakazawa of TOYOTA MOTOR...
Scott, I just posted several files that are in Japanese - see Files, Japanese Data. They are 3 pages from an early press release and one other page that has...
Michael, The data pdf file is actually a copy of the pages out of the Neko Publishing book. (The one we still haven't gotten you a copy of). The one I enjoyed...
haha... Yeah, my fiancee is still looking for a copy for me. So, let me get this straight... those are the 'actual' Neko pages? Which came first the chicken or...
I posted the Miki Press page in question with Michael's documents. The translation question on this one is what the brackets and parenthesis mean in the chart...
OK, translations. No wonder girlfriends refuse to do technical translations. At the right had side of the chart, the information in the parentheses says that...
Boy, did I screw up. Exports. Okay. I agree, I am still not sure I would put money on those numbers. Let's go with the Neko numbers. Aproximately. Rich...
