Honda S600, 1965. Curious that advertising refers to a “full line of Honda automobiles” given that, in the mid-60s they were only producing the tiny S600 and Kei-sized commercial vehicles

What a difference 60 years makes juxtaposition of Volvo P1800, 1960 & Volvo P1800 Cyan, 2020. Cyan racing have created a restomod coupé based on a 1964 P1800 that has been extensively modified with a 420hp 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine based on the same engine as used in the world title-winning Volvo S60 TC1 race car. The body has been altered to accommodate a wider track, larger wheels and reinforced using high-strength steel and carbon fibre.
