The last one is a starlet. Those Nissan Micra type cars were also made by Nissan factories. Cant remember the name, seen a few in the import auctions

I thought the Casablanca model wasn't actually for the Japanese market. Either China or Korea IIRC.

However, I'm 99% sure there were never any turbo models built. Think the turbo bonnet is a graft on.

Casablancas were usually 'Wagons... I don think that Ive ever seen a Saloon before.

The other links dont work but Im guessing that they are all Mitsuokas?
