"BRE Hino Samurai, 1967"
$ 26

"One of the most interesting things about working with Hino Motors in Japan was the enthusiasm of its engineering staff. All these guys were trained to work on trucks and buses, their main product. The automotive division at Hino was miniscule but the controller, who arranged my racing budget was open to new ideas. He loved the idea of going racing. When I showed him my ideas for building a Hino GT he said; "That's too advanced for our management; I will think of a way to finance it so you can build it in secret!" If it hadn't been for that sort of thinking we'd never had built it. Unfortunately it had only run one race when the chairman of Hino died and the company came under siege by a hostile takeover attempt. The project was shelved but the car's shape is still fresh today."
