The cars

[edit]

Only six[1] of the automobiles, called the V6, which confusingly used aV-twinohvJAP engine of 728cc, were ever built. Drive to the rear wheels was via a four speedgearbox. The floor pan acted also as the chassis and the suspension was by transverse leaf spring at the front and cantilevered springs at the rear.[2] The car weighed 1170 pounds (531 kg) and was said to be able to achieve 65 mph (105 km/h) with an economy of 45 mpg‑imp (6.3 L/100 km; 37 mpg‑US).[1]
