RoadworkUK Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The Artz and VW Golf side-by-side comparo looks rather like comparing the Matchbox and Majorette 1:64 models. garethj, OM646 and Snake Charmer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reg on theirs starts on KE though, IIRC, I've not really paid much attention to it as the rear end of the thing does make me a little nauseous... 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Charm Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Following on from the Astra body on a Corvette chassis, here's the 1975 Corvette hatchback. It wasn't an official model, but conversions were done on a semi-official basis on new cars by a coachbuilder. It's rather better resolved, visually speaking, than the German efforts with the Astra and the Porsche estate. In fact, it's a very elegant car.

artdjones Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 13 hours ago, artdjones said: Alfa also built the R4 under licence for a while. I didn't realize it, but they actually built 41000 of these over two years, then the tax policy of the Italian government changed, so they stopped production. My suspicion would be that Fiat leaned on the government to do that, as they have always had a lot of political influence. And for all the appeal of the Fiat 500 and 600, the R4 is a far superior car for every day use and practicality than either of them. In fact it's probably the best of all the "people's cars."So Fiat would be looking at a large loss of sales if production had continued. lesapandre, egg, JeeExEll and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
