Neckar Jagst 770:

[vulgalour]

Neckars seem to be a whole bunch of rebadged Fiats and NSUs sold in Germany and France.  It did cause me to find this, the Autobleu.

It's a pretty impressive restyling of the Renault 4CV.

Looks like a Renault Trafic that shrunk.

Or a Trafic-licker who only had a pile of Pandas but really wanted a Trafic.

Funnily enough I saw one today in Brighton and I'm not sure if I put it in this thread a couple of years ago when I saw one at Ardingly antiques fair. Anyway I think they look great in a strange way!

They were 'made' in Denmark by Dansk Oversoisk Motor Industri who assembeled knocked down kits of various BMC products including the ADO 16, MG and Minor.

Famous in Denmark is the DOMI post van, based on the Morris MO and later Minor vans (also used by the Swedish post office).

This could have meant 2 door Carlton estates and vans, alas according to Vauxpedia  one 2 door Carlton saloon was made and the van considered , probably not needed when the Astravan replaced the Chevanne.

Much less interesting than most of these, but, until I was behind one yesterday I  did not know that Renault made a modern 4wd pickup.

This Seat was a new one to me...

Wasn’t there a long running thread on retro rides trying to identify what looked like a vertically stretched Metro. Thinking it could have been one of these. 
 

Edit: it looks nothing like it.

that was a specially built/adapted Metro as a replacement vehicle for the user-owner of an Invacar New era DJN944

@DVee8 mentioned BINIs on @New POD 's thread about Ford Kas in the 'Modern Shite' subforum.

Everyday is a school day. So off I trot to the Auto Trader site. I never knew that there was a Mini Clubvan!

Peugeot never made a 604 Estate, but this didn't stop some people from making their own:

I think I prefer the original;

I've never heard of a 507 before but Wikipedia says famous Hollywood owners include Fred Astaire, Elvis and Ursula Andrees.

Raymond 'Woolard' Baxter is not impressed with the colour of the 'water' Pierre is washing it with. Raymond thinks Pierre must have dipped the bucket into the harbour.

[Snipes]

Is that Raymond doing a Wollard 30 years before that was a thing?

Also, I've just realised it looks reminiscent of an early Corvette Stingray.

Quite a trend setter was old Raymond. But I think our Wollarding chum above is an imposter.

The real Raymond and chums.
