Tomica Limited Vintage Neo 1/64 scale model TLV-173a Subaru 360 (1959 model) SUBARU 60th Anniversary Beige (Finished Product)

Early kei cars were extremely compact, measuring just 3 meters in length, 1.3 meters in width, and with engines displacement of 360cc or less. While it was said that it was impossible to build a car of this size, the first true kei passenger car, the Subaru 360, was born in 1958. Its air-cooled 2-cylinder engine, lightweight body with a resin roof, and unique torsion bar suspension astonished people at the time, and it enjoyed a long lifespan that continued until 1970. Early models in particular are affectionately nicknamed "Demekin" (Demekin) due to the unique headlight shape.

As a tribute to microcars that remain in global automotive history, TLV features a retractable engine hood and a resin roof, just like the full-scale car. At approximately 48mm in length, it is remarkably compact even in 1/64 scale, and the car's technology has been incorporated into the limited dimensions. The Subaru 60th Anniversary edition features the Subaru 60th Anniversary logo on the roof. This special edition comes with a commemorative plaque and a special box.
