The "Zero One Classic Type F" is a special model that led to the recognition of Mitsuoka as Japan's 10th automobile manufacturer.
The Zero-1, Mitsuoka's second production vehicle (the model with a 1.6-liter straight-4 B6 engine), was approved as an assembly vehicle in 1994, but it was not until the 1996 model with the 1.8-liter straight-4 (BP engine) that it received type certification as "E-MS01 type" from the Ministry of Transport.
With the Zero One's type certification, Mitsuoka became the 10th Japanese automaker to be approved. In other words, Zero-1 was the first model that Mitsuoka Motors produced and released as an "automobile manufacturer.
There are two types of Zero-1: a basic model (base grade) similar in design to the Birkin Seven, which Mitsuoka purchased as a sample car when developing the vehicle, and the Classic Type F, which we covered here.
As you can see in the video, the Classic Type F is a 1940s? It is based on the motif of a classic car from the 1950s, and was awarded the "Good Design Award" in 1997.
Well, this is the basic information about Zero-1.
The original cars produced & sold by Mitsuoka Motors basically have a "base car".
Mitsuoka Jidosha's best-selling Viewt is based on the Nissan March, and more recently, Buddy is based on the Toyota RAV4, and Rockstar is based on the Mazda Roadster.
In the case of Zero-1, however, the engine and other powertrains are taken from the Eunos Roadster, but the frame and suspension are made in-house by Mitsuoka.
In other words, the Zero-1 model is different from other models in many ways.
The vehicle we interviewed this time is a 1997 model, but its mileage is still in the 30,000 km range. The body and interior are clean, and the engine, transmission, and suspension are in excellent condition. I took it for a test drive on a public road, and it ran very well.
In addition, the previous owner spent a lot of money to customize the car, and it has a more classic and sporty style than the stock Zero-1.
And yet, the price of the car itself was 3,080,000 yen. I think it is safe to say that this is a "cheap" price.
At the time of the photo shooting, we were in the "Let's buy an old car! but since it is not so much an old car in terms of age, we changed it to the project of the title (laugh).
