vulgalour Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We'd better have the Hafei Lobo in here then. It's actually not that bad looking really. Rather than looking like a cheap copy of something else it actually looks like a decently thought out bit of design and stands on its own visual merits. At least it does in this iteration.

cros Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A relative owned this '47 Anglia drophead in the early 50's even though, I think, they were only built in Australia. It got nicked in Birmingham the day after a new hood was made for it and was found shortly after 'cleaved nearly in half'. Bugger. Asimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cros Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I wonder how many people decided that the 66bhp six was a bit too rich and opted for the 43bhp perky instead? Asimo, Bfg, Lacquer Peel and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfg Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 .^ I love this sort of specification. Amongst its gems .. "particularly suitable for passenger cars and light weight vans. Weight (with electrical starting equipment but less flywheel) : 361 lb" ..That's the weight of my complete motorcycle ! "Shipping - Gross weight : 5 cwt. " ..excuse me but that's 560 lb "when the petrol engine is removed the diesel can be accommodated " oh.. it's not in addition to the petrol engine then ! ? " have completed and exhaustive series of tests " .. 43bhp in such a heavy car would be indeed be exhaustive ! "tests ..over the past five years " ! Amazingly Perkins is still in business, despite being bought by Massey Ferguson in 1959 and much later by Caterpillar. I might smile but Perkins produced a very successful engine : Wiki tells me : Perkins' 1.6 litre (99 cubic inch) P4C engine, producing 45 or 60 hp (45 kW), was popular in Europe and Israel for taxis and commercially driven cars during the 1950s and early 1960s; many cars, including American imports, were retrofitted with these engines for taxi use, with kits made by Hunter NV of Belgium. Perkins engines were also used as standard factory equipment in Jeeps and Dodge trucks in the United States in the 1960s. They also continued to be popular in European trucks from their original customer, Commer and other companies. cros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bergerac Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 TagAZ Aquila. Now built in France under a new name: http://www.mpm-motors.com/en/http://boitierrouge.com/2016/11/29/mpm-motors-ps-160-une-voiture-francaise-a-larriere-gout-de-vodka/https://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/1093345060.htm?ca=12_s I really wonder how on earth they can supposedly sell it for 8,500 Euros and make a profit.

Bfg Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 ...not sure it's so bad a package with Mitsubishi 1.6 litre + 5 speed box, and with a three year guarantee. The design target price was 13,000 and now to get (advanced) orders in (the markets are always skeptical at first) they have a 'launch offer at 8 500 €ttc'. The multi-tubular frame is easy to dip protect and the composite body is easy to replace in the event of a minor fender bender (..keeping insurance costs reasonable for the younger / second car customer). We used exactly the same in 1980 with the Steven's Cipher. That used the Reliant 850cc all-alloy engine & mechanicals (Tony Stevens is very patriotic), but after the financiers pulled out - he redesigned it for the overseas market. He built a coupe version with the 1.6 Mitsubishi motor.! Seems like the Japanese liked the idea, and so when someone else came along they've given it their blessing. Start up costs and the first few years (repaying interest on loans) are the hardest, so I really wish them the very best. It's tough to compete with the big boys. If I had the money I'd be tempted just to support them. The PS160 is smart insomuch as it went for four doors and a half decent boot capacity, to appease the mother with kids, and then dad at the weekend who wants to enjoy a little more driving fun than his company car offers. That's my two-penneth worth anyway. Jim Bergerac, ShiteRider and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Here's a video review of the TagAZ Aquila, the execution isn't the best, it looks like a toy car but it is very cheap and a lot more visually interesting than most cheap cars. https://youtu.be/gx4lFAmhxM8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Behold the Bohse Eurostar, essentially a Lada Riva with much of its bodywork lopped off and replaced with plastic panels to create a latter day Citroen Mehari. Now I'm aware of their existence, I'd love one to punt around in during the summer. Bohse.jpg Indeed, that is so bad I actually want one; the bastard offspring of a dodgem car and Postman Pat's van.
