TYPE A {Shopping and Commuting}

TYPE B {Luggage Carrying}

TYPE C {Leisure Use}

WIDESHOT

Info: Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1969, the Toyota EX-II is a three-wheeled microcar project. It was supervised by Jiro Kawano, creator of the 2000GT. Three versions are presented on the same basis.

The proposed engine is either an electric motor or a 350 cm3 two-stroke Yamaha twin-cylinder with air cooling.

The Type A (cream) is a beautiful style exercise of an economical vehicle to transport from home to work or go shopping (commuting). The plastic bubble covers the entire cabin that can accommodate two passengers. Two openings in the shape of portholes allow communication with the outside.

The Type B (orange) is a short-distance goods vehicle, such as in airports.

The Type C (blue) is a runabout for leisure, golf cart style that can be used for vacation spots.

I'm back! (Somewhat) I just burnt myself out, I remaster these images and it takes me a long time to do it, plus the research for some of them like this one.

Anyway, I might not be as frantic as I was.

Edit: The South Pacific Hotel version needs a kit for me to build. I must have it LOL
