Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

2001 Citroen Osmose:

Looks like a C4 Picasso equivalent to the new Ami, don't you think?

[Austat]

Triumph TR7 "Coca Cola":

[paulplom]

Citroen c5 aircross.

Saw one of these at tescos yesterday. It made me look twice and was massive.
I wouldn't fancy the depreciation though.

They'd need to sell about four before it became a serious competitor for the Lagonda

Another Pininfarina gem, also with a flat (12) engine.  Ferrari Pinin.     

Shame it never became a production reality.  Could have been a serious competitor for the Lagonda...........

There's a touch of the Senator about that grill.

There is more than a touch of Alfa164 about the whole thing if you ask me. 

Good old pininfarina. You can't question their green credentials and pioneering work in recycling

Looks like a stealth car...now I see why nobody ever designed a stealth car.

That 2-door convertible in the centre has (unsurprisingly) more than a hint of "big X1/9" about it.  It looks fab and I'd have it in a heartbeat.

Zenos E10. 2015ish, UK designed and built, midengined Ford Ecoboost. Sooped up "R" version does 0-60 in 3 seconds!

Coaster Tremor:

I never would have guessed what that's based on, an Austin Ambassador of all things! Thought it looked familiar though and it turns out to be closely related to this beast:

259 Coaster Alamor RV (2004) by Robert Knight, on Flickr

Both were built by the Moreton family. The Tremor is owned by Trevor Moreton and the Mondeo thing is the Alamor owned by his son Alan. They also made this vintage-style van on a Morris Ital:

178 Coaster Gemini Van *(1982) by Robert Knight, on Flickr

[Mr_Bo11ox]

The best bit about that green 'van' (apart from the wheeltrims) is the fish sign above the taxdisc

Just chronically wrong in every possible way. I love it!!!

I didn't know about this one. I'm sure you lot will know of it, but it's new to me.

Datsun U620

That's pretty. Really pretty.

PAG Chubby anyone? It's a Santana.

[egg]

Oh and just found out they made the Santana in China until 2012...

[17-Coffees]

Ever wanted a Megane CC with the front end of a CLK? Well BYD got you covered...

 

According to Wiki, it has a 2.0, inline-4 thats powering the front wheels, via a 5-Speed CVT gearbox...

It sold a record setting 103 models over its entire production run! *According to Wiki

Its listed as both the S8 and F8, pending what photos you look at. (As in, some photos have S8, others F8)

Id love to know what chassis it's based on, knowing the Chinese market of the past 15 years it'll no doubt be a old  VW Passat, Citroen ZX or Austin Montego...

Also got a touch of the Peugeot 308 CC about it, particularly the rear window and pillars.

The back end design is very reminiscent of a Lancia Delta. Rather unfortunate name, though.

All of which explains the fancy door pressings on the (once!) more common 620 pickup...
