Honda Fit

A little history

Honda launched its subcompact Fit, which took over the name Jazz on some export markets, in June 2001. Sold globally, this five-door hatchback saloon was fitted with various engines from 1.2 to 1.5 litres. A second-generation Fit/Jazz, roughly similar but larger and more aerodynamic, was unveiled in October 2007.

(This car’s history will be expanded in due time, please be patient.)

About the models

Model: Honda Fit
Year: 2001
Maker: Ebbro
Scale: 1/43
Distributed by: Ebbro, "Hot!" series ref. 43225 (pearl white) or 43228 (metallic blue)

Excellent job by Ebbro, which proposes a perfectly reproduced and assembled Fit. My rating is 15/20.

Thanks JD. Originally I wanted to choose only one to keep and sell the other, but they're so nice I haven't been able to make a choice and until now kept both.
