The Finnish exclusive 1982 YA Alku: Finland on wheels

A Finnish man was driving his Volvo one day and thought to himself ‘Why doesn’t Finland have a car maker?’. A few years later and one big government grant he set up a factory on the outskirts of Helsinki, this was the first car produced by ‘YA’, as they had no idea how to build engines they looked out to a few companies for help and found Komodo Powers (@koolkei) to be the best deal.

The 1962 Horyuji Samairu:

Japan was starting to get back on its feet after the war, unfortunately the people were still struggling financially and could only afford motorbikes, thats where the kei car came in handy, a small but useful car that costs not much more than a bike, the low powered engine means that although these cars are incredibly slow, they provide a decent fuel economy rating.

Please point it out if I’m just being a bit pedantic, but an i4 on a luxury GT car? That doesn’t seem quite right to me

It is strange yes, but, it’s 1946 and there isn’t much money

True. I just thought an i6 would be more appropriate, but that’s fair. Sweet styling by the way!
