1964 Lightburn

[Rye Miles #13621]

1964 Lightburn Zita Sport

[Pat Riot]

Wow! My Miata is small. That car is tiny. 
 

I found a site with some specs. Get out your calculators, boys. It’s all in metric. 

Top speed = 77.6 mph

Basically a 494cc engine pushing 20 hp?

My Kawasaki Versus 650 does 77 hp. Maybe Aussie horses are stronger than Japanese horses…that’s gotta be it. Or it could be because of the 2 stroke engine.

Holy Cow, the thing only weighs 880 pounds. 
 

Here are the specs.

I wonder if it sounded like The Jetson’s car?

DOES kinda resemble it!!

Not much protection in a collision.  Might as well be on a motorcycle.

 

Hope the owners signed their organ donor cards.

Looks like a lot of ground clearance for such a little thing!

Have you any idea how much K Y Jelly it would take to get someone my size into one of those?

 

Or out again?
