NorfolkNWeigh Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Saw one of these 4 door Bentleys today There's a good reason for not knowing these exist- they don't yet!Was it a prototype testing or something? That rendering looks like an A7 with a Bentley grille, I'm hoping the real thing is a bit more imposing when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisItalSLX Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The Rover 800 IN AUSTRALIA!?!? Turns out they were sold here between 1987 and 1991!I have never seen one here ever, not even for sale. I want one. I really do. EDIT: found this website with some useful information about Aussie market Rovers.https://rover800australia.com/ Lacquer Peel, Brodders, brickwall and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the pic's not right - seems to be a Flying Spur according to Bentley's website. NorfolkNWeigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so comfortable with my Felicia now that I forget it is practically invisible to the general public. Would explain the amount of car park dings it has attracted over the years.

SierraMikeHotel Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 A colleague of mine had a Logo. I'd never heard of them either so Googled it, and of course you can't - you just get the Honda (lower-case l)ogo - a big letter H.The Post Office comment is entirely accurate, he'd liberated it from his elderly father when he decided to give up driving.

Datsuncog Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 In fairness, the Logo went entirely under my radar too. I only realised they existed about two years ago when Mrs DC snapped a particularly battered example for my delectation. I've seen a few around since (and one only a week or so ago), but they were entirely invisible to me at the time they were new - I never noticed any ads for them, any writeups in Auto Express, or any customers coming in needing bits for one. Connoisseur-grade shite in the making, surely... cros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cros Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 That Logo is a ghost of a car, it's just about invisible. It took 17 years for me to notice my first one and even then I thought I'd imagined it until it cropped up here the other day. If there's anything else I've missed I'd be grateful if someone would get it posted. I've had the Wind already. Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I saw one of these yesterday. Do t recall ever seeing one before, although that could just be because MODERNHyundai-Accent-hatchback-rear-1.jpgI saw one of those a couple of weeks back in Spalding when picking up the Audi. They were sold here as the Accent Atlantic for a brief period between the original Accent finally succumbing to old age and the I20 going on sale. Only ever as a 3 door.

Junkman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Ever heard of the StreetScooter (sic)? Get used to it. Since it's German, it'll soon be the biggest e-car maker in the world rendering the rest insignificant.It has DHL money behind it, which makes even Elon Musk look like a beach bum.Another chance missed by the nation that hitherto had a monopoly on milk floats. chaseracer, Sigmund Fraud, catsinthewelder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 StreetScooter are also building electric Ford Transits as DHL have done a deal for the supply of Transit gliders. You have to wonder why none of the big boys said yes when DHL case knocking with an order for 70,000 EV vans. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cros Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 A couple of old snotters I've not seen before, Jennings bodied Standard 8 and Triumph 9. When I were a boy there were lots of wooden contraptions of this type about, most on their last gasp and riddled with woodworm. My favourites were rebodied ex WW2 stuff. They were hopelessly uneconomical with low compression sidevalve engines and final drive ratios more suited to military conditions.

Seems to be the first-ever Chinese car to get over here, and in right-hand-drive.BYD, Build Your Dreams, started off as battery manufacturers then got into cars and are into buses in a very big way. Most of the electric buses in London have BYD units under them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
