ELAN REPLACEMENT

[2cams70]

Apart from from English Ford derived cars I've always liked the early Hondas. They had some very out there and interesting products back in the early days. Soichiro Honda was a real innovator, was interested in racing and unlike the other Japanese manufacturers Honda did not start out by just copying or building under license products from the West. Soichiro Honda Honda was a very unique individual especially for a Japanese.

I once had a Honda Coupe 9 for a while. Like the model T's association with Henry Ford the coupe 9 was Soichiro Honda's design baby built around what Honda had learnt in Formula 1 and motorcycle manufacture at the time. It really was something special.
