I remember seeing that old Suzuki in Popular Science or Popular Mechanics, either late sixties or early seventies. Called it a "Mini Brute" or something like that. I wanted one, but it was only sold on west coast. 4wd and got 40mpg. I imagine you ever drove one with that little 2 cycle engine and you wouldnt be very impressed out on hiway, but if geared right, probably fun off road. There were some odd cars that made it into USA over the years before safety and pollution nazis got power. Thing is very few of them sold and they tended to not be very durable or safe. Never know though, went to a rural auction few years back and there was a 2cyl Honda 600 think they called them and some ancient Fiat with little engine in rear, both had set long time out in field. Honda was too rusty to be interesting to own and they didnt have title for the Fiat. I think around 20hp Honda lawn mower engine could have powered either one.....
