Hattori Works Honda DAX and Daihatsu Mira L70
Even though the Honda DAX is a cool little moped I’m far more interested in the Hattori Works Daihatsu Mira L70!
Now the sticker on the windshield of the L70 is even better: Hattori Works sells car parts for 80s car in both 1/1 and 1/24 scale! How awesome is that?

Only a picture of the nose of the car?

1. Oil cooler lines sticking out of the grille and going back into the bumper!
2. Super Silhouette-like hood fins
3. Star Sharks
4. Typical early-Eighties Advan front air dam
At the rear it is a bit less exciting:
Only an Advan boot spoiler and a tsurikawa. 😉
