Two more tiny Japanese marvels, this time from the 1960s and 1970s. On the left, the Honda Z, which started out as the Z360 with a kei-qualifying 360cc engine in 1970 but became the 600cc Z600 in some export markets. A forerunner of the first Civic. On the right, the little S800 sports car from 1965. Seen at a Honda UK press event in 2021. More tiny Hondas tomorrow.

@davidwilkins Hah, thought I recognized that little sports car - it appears to be exactly the same model driven by cartoon character Spirou in several albums 😁

@jwcph @davidwilkins You could almost do a whole series of toots about fantastic (real world) cars that make it into comics. Tintin is notorious for featuring a whole slew of awesome international motors from the era, and stuff like Initial D is chock full of homages to Japanese motoring.
