One of Only Two Existing “Factory-Backed Machines”

The “Kuwahara Starlet” raced in the the “Minor Touring” series, which was popular in the Japanese racing scene in the 1970s.
This extremely valuable example is one of the two “Toyota Factory-Backed Machines” that was ever produced. It was stored for a long time by the team owner/mechanic, Akira Kuwahara himself. Including the 4 valve head 137 engine capable of 190ps (9500-10500rpm), the engine peripherals remain in good condition.
