Soichiro Honda's last stand for air cooling. The 1300 arrived in 1969 with a high-revving, air-cooled 1.3-litre four driving the front wheels, and the coupe followed in 1970. It was clever but heavy and costly to build, it sold slowly, and Honda switched to water cooling for the cars that came after it.
