Okay people, I am starting to go insane.
I wonder if anyone can list the model numbers and the basic differences of the early shape Stout's. I have been finding what I can on the net and falling well short of finding any good, real information. I have come across some model numbers but they are meaningless to me.
I initially thought that the shape Stout I have, which is a 1965, was produced from 1963 through to 1968. Then I find that this Japanese example below, also Stoutman's avatar, is supposedly a 1973 model.
so can anyone help me to know what years these things were actually produced and what the model numbers were that they went by?
So far I know that there is a Stout RK35, RK45 and RK101. Apparently the one pictured above is an RK101.
How the heck would you know? What makes this 1973 example different to a 1965?
I have found on the following parts website www.chinaautospareparts.com/toyota.htm that it lists the models as being RK30, RK31, RK40, RK41, RK45, RN31, RN41, LN40. It also lists the years of manufacture as being 1959 through to 1965. This can be found if you scroll just a little way down the page.
So................. I am totally confused. I have no idea what model mine is either. All I know so far is that on the side of the rocker cover it has a sticker that says "2R", which I assume indicates that it has the Toyota 2R motor which I believe is a 1500cc. I have no idea what carby it has, or in fact anything else, so if I try to order parts etc I am worried I might order the wrong thing because I don't even know what model number mine is.
Sorry everyone, you're going to get a lot of stupid questions from me about this car because I am obsessed by it now. I want it on the road so badly. Where I come from, which is the city of Adelaide in Australia, there is over 1 million people. There are literally none of these cars here. So, when I have it on the road I will be the only one getting around in one. I have always had fairly rare cars in past because I like to be different, but this thing really is a dream come true for me to have something this rare.
