The Alfa Romeo AR6 isn't something I knew about until yesterday. 

Have a look for the AR8 - the AR6 is Ducato-based but the AR8 is Iveco Daily

Allard should have stayed with Cadillac power. Villiers - pfff!

 

My parents neighbour's one does ok with Chevrolet power, mind. Think he was disappointed he couldn't quite crack 200mph with it though.

This could be my one ! The same colour and interior. I bought it in Sydney and it was traded in Canberra at the BMC dealer for a new Mini K 1100 in 1970

The Victorian H-plate dates to the early 60's, if it was re-registered in Victoria in the early 70's it would be on an L-plate or a late-issue K-plate, so it's unlikely that it's your previous one. That being said, it could be on a private plate that's period correct (I see fairly new cars with plates from the 90's on them). Got any photos of the Wolseley or the K1100 Mini?

You took me a bit too literally ! Mine was manual trans, and the one here has an "Automatic" badge on the boot lid. I think I have one photo of each, both slides , put away somewhere. The mini pic was taken on a new years day, sitting in the snow south of Canberra. Will look for them.

Very un-BMW, if you'd told me it was a Fiat or an Alfa I would have believed you

[wuvvum]

This was a new one on me.  The Muji Car 1000, a poverty-spec K11 Micra-based car only available online.

Anyone else see E86 Z4 coupe in that rear end?

 

[somewhatfoolish]

I'm seeing a Marcos GT, also of ~1964.

The forbidden fruit of UK.

Just looking up these on here and found this post. Found a Lancia Lybra Estate abandoned to a driveway with soggy tyres and moss near here. Looks cool in my eyes.

A bit of a special. Wonder how many were actually made.              6 wheeled Espace.

I'm seeing a car with alloy wheels in the first pic, and wires in the second. Quite odd...

The tyres on the rear alloys look slightly wider. I wonder if they had to change it because of handling issues? The back wheels in both pics have quite strong negative camber for a road car.

Possibly an attempt at modernising the small, but prestigious, East German 'General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany and Chairman of the National Defence Council' market. A cut throat market that saw Citroen in direct competition with Volvo.

I read about this recently, MUJI were/are a sort of basic fashion retailer. Imagine a car from Primark! 

I love the ‘an car’ grille - 100% solid effort there.

Do they still steer like laden VLCCs?

[ChinaTom]

A few 4x4 versions of that Chinese Ital found their way onto military owned tobacco plantations in QuJing and ZunYi. If only there was a sense of pride in crap vehicles over there - I bet there are few crumbling away in derelict buildings in remote areas.

[Adrian_pt]

The Fiat 131 Marengo was a new one on me - two-door estate sold as a commercial vehicle for a couple of years.  Lonsdales must be on every street corner by comparison.

The "boot" part looks more like the arse end of a 605?
