HasiÄi-related modifications aside, a 1941 Horch finding itself in eastern Europe at the end of WW2 would have some interesting tales to tell...

Lukas Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 If this fire brigade-car arouses you, you will love this too: A Steyr XX from the 1930s, used by a huge company selling Radios and Televisions in Graz/Styria. Rumor has it that it had a matching trailer too,but the trailer is lost sadly. The car was found some years ago in a barn (not kidding), and it´s unrestored. It was THE sensation at the biggest austrian classic car show last year. Lacquer Peel, Bfg, sheffcortinacentre and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 And that´s how it looked in the earlier days: Some say the one who found it in the barn wanted to restore it and change the body and make a Roadster out of it. But thankfully, it will stay like that now with the new owner. Sudsprint, Lacquer Peel, sheffcortinacentre and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Ford Pampa, looks nice!Have heard about the Ford Corcel before and some of the 70s Corcel coupes look quite cool. Just checked out Ford Pampa on Wiki. First pic shows one with the text underneath "1992-1997, alcohol powered". Yeah, 12 gallons please. I can only imagine how bad it handles in the corners near the end of a long journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 A couple of JDM Honda obscurities here, seen within a short distance of each other and both completely new to me: 1999 Honda Avancier 3.0 V6 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Apparently this model only lasted one generation. I didn't have a clue what it was called and only found it due to searching the engine capacity. 2002 Honda Mobilio 1.5 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Boxy! Bigger than kei-class I think. Edit: I've just discovered that our very own Bramm77 photographed that very Avancier a couple of years ago, and I even commented on it at that time. Senility is starting to kick in....

Think the alcohol powered thing a reference to Brazil's policy of requiring cars to run on sugar cane derived ethanol blend as a subsidy to wealthy farmers environmental measure.

Lacquer Peel Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 What on earth is it based on? And are those cheap aftermarket SLK headlights?It's not based on anything, it uses a Chinese drivetrain but the rest of the car is home grown, possibly using ancient Suzuki Mehran (Alto) parts.
