Subaru 360!

Has anybody here ever seen a Subaru 360?
I have - lots of them, and I own 2.
For those of you who don't know - the Subaru 360 was Subaru's FIRST mass produced car!
It has a 2-stroke engine that burns a mixture of gas and oil at a 100/1 ratio. That engine is a 356cc air cooled inline twin - mounted transversely at the rear. 25hp @ 5500 rpm.
It is smaller than the old (real) mini - and cooler too.
It gets about 55mpg, though ads claimed "up to 66mpg" and nobody believes that it's a Subaru when they see it!
Suicide doors standard.
1969 Subaru 360 sedan, 1970 Subaru 360 Young S.

Thanks.

This a 360 participating at a vintage race in Japan - it is the original Subaru.

New to these forums I see, the message board at the Subaru 360 Driver's club was a little too slow, so I moved to this one (not that I don't post at the club anymore)
Glad to have a fellow 360 owner join me here.

I would settle for a model of the 360, it would look great amongst all the other Subaru's I have on the shelf
In my opinion, the 360 was one of the coolest cars of its time
