horriblemercedes Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The distinction "A Monaro is not a Vauxhall" is exactly the same as the distinction "a Mustang is not a Ford UK car" Vauxhall is just a brand name that at that time was used by GM for a particular market. It's like listing all the Ford products that are not built by Ford UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wartburg Melkus RS1000. 101 where made in Dresden between 1969 and 1979, it had a fibreglass body, a tuned Wartburg 353 engine, with 3 carburettors rather than the usual one and a Barkus 5 speed gearbox.

quicksilver Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Yesterday I spotted a transporter loaded with these weird little vans that look like previous-gen Transits shrunk in the wash and had no idea what they were. Meet the DFSK EC35, a cheap and cheerful electric van from those Chinese folks who used to make the little trucks with the BMW-style grilles. egg, Crackers, martc and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Speed Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I went to a car show in Devon on Sunday and saw this XL1 diesel electric hybrid. Had no recollection of them before but a search suggests they are known to some Shiters here. 250 built. The owner of this one was very protective as it seems the interior can get very scratched because it is made of lightweight fragile material. So he was fending off kids who wanted to climb in. He said it does 150mpg. mk2_craig, SteersWithThrottle, bunglebus and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transverse FWD I believe... Only learned about this the other day via IG, and I thought I knew every 1930s techno-streamliner. Turns out nobody else has heard of it either - comissioned an article on it, but the people with all the documents relating to the project won't play ball because they're working on a book about Jonghi motorcycles, to which this is connected. So look out for a big French-language Jonghi book in the next couple of years for the full story, I guess... martc and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 And Jonghi motorbikes are brand I've never heard of - some interesting looking bollides, particularly when compared to the British equivalents... This, or... This? Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
