HopeStar SM.
Hope Motor Company was a Japanese car company bought by Suzuki in 1968. In December 1967, they released the HopeStar ON360 with a Mitsubishi 360cc 2-stroke, straight-2 ME24 engine producing 21 bhp. The ON360 had a 4WD layout. While 100 engines were purchased from Mitsubishi, most sources state that only 15 ONs were finished, all in 1968.

I have a old Japanese 4WD magazine around here (10-1987), and in that magazine was a article about the Hope Star ON360. I scanned it, so you can read it here
