Car Spotting In Brunei - Mitsubishi Toppo


Today feature is not a sportscar or supercar but instead a tiny JDM Kei Car called Mitsubishi TOPPO.  This particular car is produced from the early 1990s.  I saw this tiny cute car when I was very young and I am actually surprised to see one still running about in Brunei as this type of car are hard to find! This particular should be an imported used from Japan.   

Never heard of Kei-Car?  Don't worry I had provided you guys an explanation from Wiki!

"Kei car, K-car, or kei jidōsha (軽自動車?, lit. "light automobile") (pronounced [keːdʑidoːɕa]), is a Japanese category of small vehicles, including passenger cars (kei cars or kei-class cars), microvans, and pickup trucks (kei trucks or kei-class trucks). They are designed to comply with Japanese government tax and insurance regulations, and in most rural areas are exempted from the requirement to certify that adequate parking is available for the vehicle.[1][2][3] This especially advantaged class of cars was developed to popularize motorization in the postwar era. While successful in Japan, the genre is generally too specialized and too small to be profitable in export markets."
