"Subaru may be well known for its four-wheel-drive cars, but it all started for the firm with the 360.
"Built as a kei class car to offer motoring within strict rules on size, the 356cc two-stroke parallel-twin engine offered just enough performance to see the 360 to 59 mph (95 km/h) while returning around 45mpg economy.
"As you’d expect of Subaru, there were some advanced ideas incorporated into the 360, such as independent suspension all-round and a glassfibre roof panel to save weight.
"In production from 1958 until 1971, 392,000 Subaru 360s were built and it now enjoys a cult-like following." (msn.com)
