I've seen one in real life, possibly on foreign plates, and recall finding the name amusing. Were they sold over here? Did they have a sporty one called Getz Raging?

I don't think the design is quite resolved, for a number of reasons, but it's a nice looking car. Goes to show how good the real DB5 was, however. My criticism of the design is that it can't quite seem to decide whether it's an homage to the DB5, an evocation of sixties Aston Martins in general or something else. It seems to be trying to do all three at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campagnolo means countryman, or possibly peasant. Although I can't imagine a BMW Mini Peasant. DSdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I am sure I had a bronze Alfa Romeo 'something' Sport Zagato, with a side opening bonnet. Might have had a side opening rear window too, and would have been Corgi or Dinky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I'm not a fan. Looks like someone grafted some 1960s tail lights, and a set of Beetle headlights onto an Aston. Just doesn't quite work. DavieW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long (revealed in 2021, apparently). However, there is another modern sportscar-based DB5 design called the David Brown Speedback GT (which looks much better imho), and that one was first shown in 2014: SteersWithThrottle and bunglebus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The Speedback is also horrid. I remember looking carefully at the prototype a few years ago and it was real classic British kit car quality - rusty phillips head screws holding the tail lamps on, that sort of thing. Anyway, in better news. I am a bit obsessed with Peugeot's Roland Garros line. I can't think of any car which isn't improved by metallic green paint and a posh interior. I hate leather seats and I'd still love a leather-clad 106 or whatever. I recently discovered there was an 806 Roland Garros!!!! How amazing (and impractical for an MPV) does this look??

I wonder if that's the one @Inspiral_Mondays had in mind. Thanks for digging that out, and also the other suggestions. It could have been the one, though in my mind‘s eye it was grey, like the real one above, with a black, sideways opening bonnet. But this would have been ca. 1973 so who knows.

The Corgi Lancia has a side-opening bonnet, and later Whizzwheels versions had a black bonnet, but only available in orange or yellow. The Alfa had a front-hinged bonnet, and the Mebetoys model had this feature, but the Solido had a cast shut bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, it was bugging me - and if I'd remembered it was a Fulvia I might have helped more then. The only ones I can see with a black bonnet are yellow or orange. God I wish I hadn't got rid of the majority of the Corgi & Dinky models I had as a kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Vauxhall's new van has been available from a French manufacturer for the last 15 years, where have we seen that before?

cort16 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I've been watching this weird Korean series on Netflix call Taxi Driver, which is part The Equaliser, The french film Taxi and Person of Interest. The main character drives a Hyundai Dynasty. it kind of looks like a 90's Lincoln Continental. catsinthewelder, Dyslexic Viking and warren t claim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
