Maurice Marina Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 From a search, they have been mentioned on AS before - but the Replicar Cursor - made in Kent - in fact just a couple of miles from where I grew up in the 80's is new to me - how I've never heard of them before, I don't know! 41928437_2738612826164570_3045571694824521728_o.jpg23593592_550535358619196_5305409535676078538_o.jpgIt’s like you have been asked to draw a Bug Bug when you have the biggest migraine ever.

vulgalour Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 What is this? Looks like it has the flag of Israel on the door there, that might be a misleading clue, I'm not sure.

Eddie Honda Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It's a Rom Carmel 1300 estate. There's a past Reliant connection with Autocars Israel. (Notice how Reliant Regal-esque the doors are) (edit: This face-lift job might actually be a 1301) (edit: Confirmed, the above is a 1301) Rom Carmel 1301 Estate by Yohai Rodin, on Flickr rom carmel, an israeli car by avivami, on Flickr https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/triumph/around-the-world-autocars-of-israel/ Rom Carmel 1300 Estate by Yohai Rodin, on Flickr JeeExEll, CGSB, LightBulbFun and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 So I did! I guess the estate shape and different viewing angle threw me off the scent, can see it clear as day now. egg and Eddie Honda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 im disappointed these didn't show up sooner here Wonder if any are in the UK my mum grew up and lived in israel and a good while back I asked her if israel had a local car company, me expecting her to beam about it with national pride oh how she both laughed and was horrified at the same time I recall her mentioning the neighbours had one in the 1960s/1970s and how it was so shite her parents actively kept her away from it or something along those lines IIRC egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Triumph 1300 tail lights - odd choice. Also, it looks like one of the design reference documents was a badly faxed photo of an early Escort estate... LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This monstrosity. Apparently an "URBAN". OK, it is a known car but bad enough in its original configuration, the plastic surgery doesn't improve it one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 We had the new Tipo yet? What about the Kia Stinger? Opel Karl - this is the one like the Adam etc above; We definitely haven't had a Go Car; egg and CGSB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 In Amsterdam last week, didn't know about these. The red car is a Canta LX. Note the CVT pulley under the front. There are a lot of these about, they use the cycleways so can go everywhere. A Dutch Invacar. Sounds like a four-stroke single cylinder engine. The other car is a Biro, Electric and it isn't clear to me whether it is considered a car for roads or a scooter for cycleways. No Dafs though.

Inspector Morose Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 A new one on me, from the Greek owners of Enfield. After the failure of the 8000 elecracar, they chose to go upmarket and tried to produce this.

RayMK Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I've got a 2017 Mirage Juro CVT hatchback which does not look as dumpy as that saloon. A lot of hatchbacks which are offered as saloons, i.e. with a boot, have awkward styling. The Mirage above is no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I noticed a circa 1990 Iveco SWB van today on Polish plates.

Yeah I thought it looked vaguely Nissan. CA20E is the same engine as our injected bluebirds. The other engine, KA24, is an earlier 8v that eventually gained 16 valves and went into things like Navaras and US 200SX (240SX over there).

62 Austin Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 SUB-TITle: Worst Attempt To Fool People Into Thinking a Beach On the Detroit River, Michigan Is a Tropical Hawaiian Beach .........yes that's Detroit in the background. A one-off dream car/concept car promoting the 1967 Camaro called The Waikiki; with fake wood paneling, forced smiles and the smoggy haze of a grim northern town. Surf's not up yet -- but they got a hula-dancer goin'! Don't you wish you could be part of that scene? What say any of you? I think it's pretty boss myself...if only how it would piss-off Chevrolet fans if it showed up at a car show. To them it would be like a Corvette with a trailer hitch or Elvis in a kilt. Apparently it had Vauxhall Viva or Renault headlights and okra-colored shag carpeting. Curbside Classic did a story about the fotoshoot a few years ago.
