A couple of spots here. Is the Range Rover an LWB model? 🤔 Looks like it to me; I've not seen one in the metal before though. 

Oh, and a Spridget.

The Range Rover is an LSE long wheel base

a scrap metal recycling customer of mine had one years ago they used as a Knock about car, it was a shame as it was an LSE 300 tdi manual soft dash in green. I did tell him how rare it was etc but he didn’t give a shit, last I heard it had an “accident” with a grab

My mates and I went to that abandoned car dealership in Derbyshire over the weekend. Only two cars left in there now but still very cool to see.

A very odd Uno - with a Casino sticker on the wing and a Breeze sticker on the door!

Spotted this around a week ago, my first time seeing a Ssangyong Chairman in the flesh. Did any of these make it to the British isles?

I've seen a gold Stavic in my area which I have yet to photograph, (the Ken Greenley-styled Rodius was sold as the Stavic here).

The only thing I really know about the Ssangyong Chairman was that a handful of them were made in North Korea, where they were called the Pyeonghwa Zunma.

So we've got the North Korean version of a South Korean version of a Mercedes E-Class thingy...

When  I saw these in Pyongyang they were invariably running along the centre lane of the road, at great speed. The (extremely pretty female) traffic controllers at every intersection immediately brought all other traffic to a halt. Quite a work of skill, although traffic levels hardly match those of other capital cities!   

It was an "urban myth" in Pyongyang that North Korean leaders arranged to "interview" the traffic controllers, in order to "assess their suitability" for the "position".  S'funny how pretty they all are.....
