Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

360cc Daihatsu Fellow Max and Daihatau Fellow Buggy Kei cars

 

These look like the sort of product that Mr Binary could find probably help finding a "for sale" link for - he is the obscure car finding genius.  Truly magnificent looking things - I like that buggy looking thing a lot.

I was behind a Chevy trax yesterday looked like vauxhall mokka.

Because it basically is a Vauxhall Mokka.

That Daihatsu Buggy looks like it should have a cutting-deck underneath and a grass-box hanging off the back.

The other Daihatsu has a hint of Suzuki Whizzkid about it.

Interesting finds. In a good way.

A Bini van. There may be thousands of them in the UK, but it's the first I've seen here in France.

Never seen one before. Looked to have the carrying capacity of the original mini but it was twice the size...

If it had been any other colour I would have assumed Korean. Actually I wouldn't even have noticed it.

 

Attracted in the manner of a giant hungry bee, I discovered the Skoda Fabia Scout.

I'm normally not a fan of ruggedised / crossover style cars. But that actually works quite well! Perhaps it's just the colour scheme. It probably looks crap in a boring colour.

Me neither. It's a San Storm, designed in France and built in India with a 1.1 Renault engine. Wiki says Reliant once intended to import them but that fell through. HML reckons there are only two in the UK!

Renault Sherpa very nice, only let down by sanitised interior. I'd expect exposed tubular framed canvas seats and at least one or two sharp edges to impale the crew on, but I suppose even war is going soft these days

"This prototype was designed by China’s best-known car stylist Li Shi Guang Ming, who is working on a range of original designs for China Automobile. The designer believes the Chika represents the first steps toward an original Chinese automotive design language."

 

I'm hoping this makes it to production in case I should get an urge to drive a car that looks like a motorised testicle.

I wondered where Final Space had got the idea from...

A small fleet of Outspan Minis were made in the early 70s.

Still, if that Chinese guy's basing his designs on the shape of a pea then his style options are going to be rather limited.

I quite like that Pea. It needs a mega bike engine in it.

The Peugeot version is the 301. 2013_Peugeot_301_saloon_%28TR%29.jpg

I was in Germany last weekend and saw a Peugeot 301 parked. Never heard of it before, but then again, not a car for the Western European market.
