If it hadn’t been for European and American prejudice, could Honda’s 1967 kei car – the N360 and N600 – have beaten the Mini at its own game? Marginally more compact, lighter too, up-to-date design and a Mini-equalling 31hp from its tiny, rev-happy motorcycle-derived 360cc 2-cylinder engine, with the 600cc upping that figure to 45hp. This minuscule Nippon econobox was born with world-beating abilities.
