Among the most extreme Kei-class cars ever made, the Daihatsu Mira Avanzato TR-XX was introduced in 1994. Powered by a turbocharged 660cc DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 100mph. Designed with motorsport in mind, the subsequent R4 version boasted a limited slip differential and permanent four-wheel drive. A true pocket-rocket with roadholding and handling capabilities that evoked a Subaru Impreza WRX or Mitsubishi Evo, some 100 examples were officially imported by Daihatsu UK (and marketed as ‘Cuore’ rather than ‘Mira’). Eighty were sold as road cars with the other twenty being sent to Harry Hockly Motorsport for use in a one-make Rally Championship. Though, inevitably crash damage saw quite a few road cars being used to re-shell their competition siblings.

Supplied by CH Bull & Sons and 1 of only 80 UK supplied road cars, and displaying some 14,000 miles from new, this rare Daihatsu 4WD ‘off the radar’ pocket rocket is understood to be a genuine low mileage, original and unmolested example. Finished in silver with grey interior, it is expected to be driven 80 miles to the auction. Accompanied by a decent history file including sundry paperwork, historic documentation supporting the mileage and Swansea V5C. It is hoped a fresh MOT will be in place for the sale.
