Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

veering totally off-topic but I ended up watching about about two hours' worth last night and got quite into it. The best one was a Scottish man who got accosted by a stuck-up woman in a car park for 'stealing his space' and he responded by saying 'hey, you need a shave! You've got a wee beard!' which really made me giggle

Personally I am aware of the FSR Tarpan having fought in hand to hand combat with them in several bustling eastern Bloc cities way back in the good old, cold old days. What I didn't know is that a Tarpan is an extinct wild horse that was found in Eastern Europe, the last captive one died in Russia in 1909.

Apologies if this has already been posted (couldn't be arsed to check 140 odd pages of this thread, but the Kiwi built Trekka (not the 4wd Kangoo) surely deserves a place here.

CUUUUTE! I absolutely love it, especially as it's such a blatant Land Rover rip off (albeit 2wd). It's like a little boy trying to convince people, he's a grown up. I AM A LAND ROVER, I AM!

weird shit indeed. This website tells you all about it- if you understand Portuguese.

I have never heard of Gurgel before. Fantastic  stuff. It all seems to be plastic-ish bodies around VW running gear and whatever they could use for windows and other stuff. Made in Brazil.

Apparently, there was the brief flirtation with the idea of a Renault 14 coupe! Ligier were involved apparently.

That looks like some woeful kit car that should be sat under a taup on somebody's drive in a comical state of disrepair.

Those Fiat Samanthas are such a pretty car, 

IIRC back in the early ninetys one was spotted rotting away in the long stay car park at Alicante Airport. Think it was in the spotted/rust in peace section of 'Your Classic' magazine.

There's at least one in the UK, seen it at a show. You can buy a Matchbox version too.

Never seen one of these before.
Golf Country.
4 wheel drive Volkswagen Golf.
Raised ride height, underbody protection, front and rear bull bars.
British registration but left-hand drive.
I think they all were as they were allegedly never sold over here.
Seen outside the industrial unit opposite where I work on 22/01/2018 then a few more times in the next week or so. Not seen again since.
