Thats an amazing spot (both Spartacus for spotting it in the first place and Sir Snipes for knowing what the fuck it was). Wikipedia says (translated from Kraut):

Wektor automobiles and design was a German manufacturer of automobiles .

Company History [ Edit | Edit source ]

Johann Bergmeier founded the company in Unteriglbach in 1988 and started producing automobiles. The brand name was Wektor . In 1991, production ended after 68 copies had been made. In the 1996 model year , the company was based at Hifering 5 in Ortenburg and was again active as an automobile manufacturer.

Vehicles [ Edit | Edit source ]

The first model was the Competition . This was a sports car based on the Toyota Supra . The drive was provided by a six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3000 cm³ , turbocharger and 330 to 420 hp . The body shape was that of a coupe with a Targa roof . The new price was DM 120,000 .

The W 48 offered in the 1996 model year was based on the Toyota MR 2 . The chassis was reinforced. The coupé body resembled Ferrari models. The drive was provided by four-cylinder engines from the MR 2, which were optionally available with and without a turbocharger and produced between 156 and 330 hp. The new price was 92,000 DM and the delivery time was eight weeks.

The moment I knew that I had no clue what it was, was also the moment I knew that the collective knowledge of AS would come good.

Thanks Hillman Imp, this place etc etc...

Can't remember when I last saw a Nissan QX...

Spotted in Dunstable.  Few minutes after snapping this little Corsa...do I spy a possible base model example?

Looking good outside the CBSO this morning.

[High Jetter]

OOF! That looks superb!

Well-used top of the range 2500s spotted in Edinburgh this afternoon, some real patina here. Almost 8000 miles driven between 2018 and 2019 MoT's according to online history. 

[Zelandeth]

We see quite a few less expected US motors around here, here's yesterday's spot in that category.

There's a more scruffy blue one which I see from time to time too.

I went one better than a shonky XJ6 today!

Top BL chod in the Chiswick/Brentford area this afternoon. 

Coupe for bonus points. 

And Triumph in standard bonnet popped pose, just like mine is as we speak.

A Ford Fairmont for @dollywobbler

And a bonus Citroen Xsara, which is probably the rarer of the two here.

[Iamgroot]

Parked next to me last night in Tesco I present a "1298cc Renault unknown" (according to DVLA)

[mitsisigma01]

WTF, look how the Shitroen makes the Fairmont look tiny. So wrong

[High Jetter]

Um, you might want to look at the pic again, Mitsi

[mitsisigma01]

Definitely need to go to specsavers, I thought the white one was a Shitroen, meh to me all modern suv are unnecessary shit boxes 

[mitsisigma01]

Just seen the xsara tucked away in the corner, my old man had a similar one, nothing ever went wrong, he sold it to my elder brother when 4years old, blew up within 5 weeks

The black and silver plates on that Lancer are incredibly jarring.

Never quite understand what makes people put black/silver plates on a modern

[Scotball]

I've seen so much shite in Edinburgh recently since I've been giving my friend lessons in the Skoda its been unbelievable. Wish I was able to use my phone while teaching! So much missed stuff  Everything from old Reliants to more "modern" cars like an N plate astra we used for parallel parking ? anyway heres a few I did manage to take while out and about.

I took a pic of this civic back in January with a note to myself to see if it passes its next MOT.

yay

*quality repairs

 

I like these old Volvos (My skoda in the background lol) and this one also has a long and interesting mot history.

I spotted this rarity in Rome a few days ago!

[bramz7]

Jeepers. I've been there like seven times and taken hundreds of photos, and never seen a Rayton Fissore. In fact I've never seen one in all the parts of Italy I've been.

This one seemingly resides or frequents an address near the Irish College. I have seen it a few times since.
