What is it?

Looks like a badly modified Toyota Sera to me.

its a mazda az-1 apparently???
look at the price of it as well its just short of 2million yen which is about 9 thousand pounds sterling!!!!!!!!!

Great little things from the same era as the Cappucino and Beat (similar size too). All the body panels are removable and you could just bolt new/different ones on. They were also sold as a Suzuki Cara. I think there's about half a dozen in this country and they've got a bit of a cult following in Japan so prices are high for what they are.

That one's a ridiculous price though - as are all J's Garage cars. By the time you'd bought it, shipped it, paid tax and registered it here it'd be more like £13,000 at current exchange rates.

Tha AZ1 was always my favourite of the K-class cars....

I don't know if it's supposed to drive as well as the cappuccino or beat, but the gullwing doors on such a tiny car are just sooo cool!!

I would love one! Been keeping my eye out, but virtually zero chance of finding a reasonably priced one... Same wee tubo engine as used in the Cappuccino (had one of those - brilliant), but in the back obviously!

Thing it has over the cappuccino is that its partly made of plastic / composite (body panels), so won't rust at the sight of the word 'moisture' as the Cappuccino does...
