Spottedlaurel Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 5 hours ago, MiniMinorMk3 said: The Giulietta Folk by Moretti Sometime in the early '80s I drew an idea for a Giulietta hatchback, will have to see if I can find it. My dad had one at the time (a standard 1.8 saloon, that is). It would just have been a side profile view, as all my car drawings were back then. That must be why I went into drawing buildings, they're usually reasonably easy to represent with 2D elevations.... lesapandre and Richard_FM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove one once, as it was lhd and had to be started on petrol, then switched over to lpg, so that particular car was an acquired taste.

I did a lot of other silly stuff like seeing how hard it would corner and could you get the rear tyres to screech when pulling away. 14 hours ago, artdjones said: The thing that seemed strange when I went in a family friend's 55 was the engine revs decreasing as the car continued accelerating. Yes I can concur, when pulling away you put your foot on the accelerator, the car would move and the engine would find it's speed, then the car would still accelerate. The optimal engine speed was about 3,000 rpm. Mother had a 66 GL estate that had a small tacho in the centre console. The experience was similar to a manual car with a kind of mild clutch slip. Being a 66 it had the Renault 12 engine, so would top out at about 90mph, not something I would like to do in reverse. Those crazy Dutch used to race them in reverse. Warning, lots of DAFs were harmed during the filming. bunglebus and adw1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian_pt Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 This weird little thing - which I saw in Iasi, northern Romania, at the start of this month, was totally new to me: I thought it was a recent Lada but turns out it's actually a Chery Jaggi - not a 70s stripper but a dinky bug-eyed little Chinese supermini.

Tayne Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 In 1996, near the end of President Suharto's three decades of rule in Indonesia, he issued a decree calling for the creation of a national car company. One result was this Timor SS15, really a rebadged Kia Sephia imported from Korea by Suharto's youngest son. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Not a car, but, the 1983 Steinwinter Supercargo: I came across this via a YouTube suggestion, link: I never knew this existed 😳 but glad I came across it. Good to see it still exists and to be fair, I think it belongs in a museum. From what I can gather through a 2-minute "research" was in around the late 1970s, this was the brainchild of one Manfred Steinwinter. The cab was based on a low racer-type vehicle that could accommodate 3 adults and be driven around the city for example without the trailer. But due to some regulations around the early 80s the idea was shelved. Also, if you are observant enough, you might notice what looks like a Ferrari logo on the front of the truck. Ferrari in fact had nothing to do with the truck, but the obscure car company of Steinwinter did, more about it here: https://jalopnik.com/a-strange-little-car-company-youve-never-heard-of-has-b-1842759339 Richard_FM, Supernaut, Yoss and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEATMad Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I must admit I didn’t realise Samsung made cars. This one was their first in the late 90s but apparently failed Vel Satis style. Now the Samsung motoring arm is under Nissan/Renault control and they still re badge Renault products as Samsung in South Korea.
