Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

You're possibly under 35?

The Suzuki Super Carry also lives on as a Mazda Scrum, this is the facelift version but

 

 

 

That is deffo a Bedford Rascal hiding under the higher roof

 

And here we have a modern day JDM Bedford Bambi!

 

 

And fooookinell, GM and Ford selling the same van at the same time, yup, here we have the ford Pronto!

 

[tul66]

Alfa 33 Sportwagon, maybe a 4x4.

Not a 4x4. They were only 1500cc over here. That's a 1700 8v, just like the one I used to have.

Would have another in a heartbeat.

 

In fact, I've still got some original Alfa headlight covers in the workshop for it if anyone needs them. Or better still, does anyone know who owns that 33 & I'll make them an offer?

Probably not!   However, two claimants to the most car marque badges featured on a single vehicle must be my old Simca van which was badged Dodge on the rear door, Talbot on the bonnet and Simca on every other sticker, label and tag elsewhere on the vehicle.    The other is another Talbot - the Sunbeam Lotus!

Fuck it, I started looking up the Talisman then realised the not just loads of Renaults I'd never heard of , but a complete brand Renault Samsung, anyone??

 

Although the new Koleos I saw today isn't on this site, looks like, and presumably is an X-Trail.

[cort16]

There's a new VW called the Arteon. Neverbloodyheard of it m8.

Holden Scurry? Never new they sold those vans in Oz, let alone as a Holden! One for further research

[sheffcortinacentre]

You missed Suzuki supper carry of that list.

[Snipes]

Yes! I knew there was one missing! Honda Acty too?

 

[Timewaster]

Acty was a different vehicle.

I copied the list from Wikipedia but of course you are right SCC.

 

Except its Super Carry. /pedant.

Nissan Tiida

 

Saw one in Dublin today on the way to the airport

I wish!

 

 

Not a 4x4. They were only 1500cc over here. That's a 1700 8v, just like the one I used to have.

That one was in the old Keymarket car park in Bury St Edmunds.

Apparently they were sold in Ireland but not in mainland UK. A dealership in the Glasgow (I think) area shipped a heap of them over, so you see a few scuttling about on Scottish reg numbers.

 

Apparently they're also really, really grim. Perfect autoshite material, really!

 

 

I also have no idea where I gleaned that information from. Probably a thread on here.

[chaseracer]

^ Arnie Shark, predictably.

Bloody spellcheck.

Yip, Arnold Shark pre-reg'd a load and were knocking them out pretty cheap for a newish car at their Nssan branches when they still had the Nissan franchise, apparently Nissan werent too chuffed as folk going in to buy new Nissan Notes and so on were seeing these much cheaper and buying them thus harming new Nissan sales. 

 

Quite a few were bought by taxi drivers. Personally i think the hatch ones, particularly from the rear look like someones taken a Peugeot 307 and squared off all the curves.

If ever a car deserves to be in here then this is it, great find. Totally new one to me. Thought it was a kit car at first then checked it out on the net.

Mad!

[John F]

Haha, baby 928 has eaten all the pies.

 

But why does it have "bollock" written on the door?

[bunglebus]

They do some weird VW based shite;

I saw one of these in London yesterday;

 

^  poor sod, having to face the daily humiliation of riding around on that.  With the full attire of a seasoned biker ..but in fact being a supermarket barrow boy.  And an oh-so-plastic barrow at that, with the riding position of a cheap end of the market chinese scooter., whose bonnet and seat makes my Shitroen Ami's panel fit look very trim indeed !  Imagine the manly proud as he starts the machine, the hoarty sound of a  .. ooh an under-powered electric motor   

 

And just for fun, the supplier reasoned : why not fit round-sectioned tyres to this trike ? .. then they'll be less grip on the road ..but it sure will track along ridges horribly ! 

 

poor, poor sod.  whatever did he do to deserve it ?

Genuinely I feel for the guy.

[xkjagnz]

Any Ideas what this is, it's familiar but can't place it!!

For info it is from Torchwood and was Dr Owen Harpers car
