Remspoor Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hurtan, made in Andalusia, Spain. Several models made. The Grand Albaycín is a copy of a British car. A mix of Jag and Morgan. The Author, which for me has elements of a Fiat 500 Gamine, but ugly chunky. The Vintage. A people carrier version of a Asquith Shire? Lastly there is Route 44. Aimed at the food truck market. Look at the panel gap. 😁 robinmasters, Coprolalia, Supernaut and 2 others 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Shit. I have only just discovered this exists. Now I know what I'll be trying to drive when I'm 80 years old. There gentlemen is plah in modern brown. They have even replicated the look of those cheap wheel trims that you find up trees along the side of the motorway, although these are alloys. Basically it's a V8 stype with these rimz and chrome mirror covers but still, it has the badge, and that's what counts. I am still trying to work out why I am so excited to discover this. Currently, we are trying to establish if there was a legit Sovereign trim release. Remspoor and SteersWithThrottle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Kenyan car industry is going to be causing the Japanese any sleepless nights. Although Laikipia seem to have already come up with a facelift: Much better.

17-Coffees Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The RAM 700... Thanks to FCA, the RAM brand got alot of Fiat based commercial stuff sold North America, see the Ram Promaster range for example. The 700 though, is sold in south & central America, and is just a Fiat Strada pickup with a RAM front end. I'm sure somewhere Dodge have plans to drop the Hellcat engine in it... 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is an absolutely unfounded allegation, but the only purpose I can imagine for enterprises like Kenya's Laikipia and Uganda's Kiira Motors is for fraudulent reappropriation of government subsidy under the auspices of "creating a domestic manufacturing industry". As was proven in communist states, marketing a hideously outclassed product can work in a captive market with very limited overseas imports, but central African states have absolutely no shortage of imported machinery to serve their transport needs. I mean, every industry has to start somewhere, but encouraging respected international marques into the country to employ your labour force is surely an infinitely better idea than trying to compete against them with products cobbled together from half-formed thoughts and ambitious intent. adw1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 We got them but America didn't.

JimH Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I had a very early pre N/S one. Most T3s here were Fastbacks or Variants and Notches weren’t very common. I believe that imports of notches was pretty much zero when the square bumpered ones appeared. I love them and were I ever to suffer a major head injury I’d have another.
