I almost bought one several years ago (but unwittingly got outbid for the
car by a friend - I think he's still got it and it might be for sale).
They are more like an "MG Midget built by Honda" than a "TR-4 built by
Honda". They are much smaller than a TR-4. Very neat cars - roller bearing
cranks, chain drive IRS, etc. etc.
