More Than the Extra 100cc Suggests: Pointing the Way for the Family Car (Yasuhei Oguchi)

The Colt series has a long history as a family car, and the newly announced Colt 1200 is a high-performance model worthy of a well–established name in the 1000cc class. Particularly in terms of engine performance, the 1100 that replaced the Colt 1000 in September 1966 has had its capacity increased by a further 100cc, providing greater reserves of acceleration at high speeds.
