85 Honda City

Well  as caches eems to be getting  smaller these days... I saw this funky Honda City  and thought... small  caches,  small  vehicle! Well it made sense to me.....

Please keep  the wheels turning  and let ushope this cute number 5 can stay  safe long  enough  to  get a few miles on the mileometer. Maybe you  could add a photo of your own  caching  vehicle to  your log. It is attached to  a bright travel  tag  and informative keyring.

NO  EVENTS PLEASE,  far too many bugs have gone to meets and then have vanished without trace,  thanks.

Designed by Pininfarina and introduced in August 1984, a drop-top Cabriolet utilized the wider track, fenders, and bigger bumpers of the Turbo II "Bulldog", but was only normally available with the naturally aspirated 67 PS (49 kW) engine. These widetrack models were designated "FA" rather than "AA". The Cabriolet was well equipped, with a glass rear window and twelve pastel colors not available on the hatchback versions. Part of a worldwide eighties' wave of convertibles based on family cars, this was the first car of this kind built in Japan.

A March 1985 light facelift brought a new asymmetrical grille (although not for the Cabriolet) and some interior improvements. The E and E II models were replaced by the new E III, while a lower priced U model joined the lineup. The U was the only non-commercial City to be available with a four-speed manual in the Japanese domestic market. Naturally aspirated engines in the AA Citys also gained a new fiber-reinforced aluminum alloy connecting rods ("FRM"), a world first in series production. One month later, the R became available with the interesting Hypershift transmission, a four-speed with an electronically controlled overdrive on second, third, and fourth gears - in essence creating a 7-speed gearbox.

This is a Hot Wheels speed graphics toy  car, safe travels
