Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

Anyone seen one of these It's a Ford KA+

Further evidence of dumbing down.

 

This is the KA adding up.

In 1997 you could buy a KA squared or a KA Cubed.

 

Such irony.

The Mazda RX3 Estate, i had seen photos of it before but i never knew there was a estate version and i really didn't know that it was available to buy in the UK, i can't imagine they sold many or that there's even any left if they did.

 

Some years ago (pre-digital days!) I saw one up here in Norfolk, it was just a couple of miles from where I lived at the time:

Tried to find a home for it, but I think it just got scrapped in the end. The yard that took it did a lot of export, if it went that way I’m not sure what they’d have made of the rotary engine…..

That Ka plus is a bit redundant with the existence of the Fiesta...

But the new fiesta is the size of an old focus and the new focus is nearly the size of the first Mondeo. In a few years the new Ka will the size of a Granada and there will four as yet unnamed cars below it.

Not cheap for what they are, made in India. The last gen Kack was a flop, and I suspect this won't do much better

Have we had the Suzuki twin yet? Japan only, and apparently the first kei car available as a hybrid. Not known about these for long at all

Some sort of Argentinian Renault/Rambler mashup with added Peugeot...?

It's a special version of the IKA Torino called a Comahue, built by a guy called Luteral iirc, built in small numbers throughout the 70s

Stumbled across this Panhard while horbgorbling** around the internet and fell down a rabbit hole of bizarre variations of an already strange car.  Put "Panhard Pichon Parat" into Google images to see what I mean.

Small numbers hardly a shock really !!

They've discontinued the "cheap" Fiestas to make room for this

I pulled into the supermarket this afternoon and spotted an MG3.

 

However it wasn't an MG3, it was a Ssanyong Tivoli.

Interesting.

 

Back in the summer, the MG stand at Knockhill for the BTCC had an MG small SUV thingy on display, and it looked remarkably similar to that Ssangyong.

That is superb!  Looks like a Dyna shagged a Rochdale.

Gurgel G15. Made of Plasteel. Brazilian. Not, as it first appears, a prop from a Supermarionation film.

 

I want to import ALL of Gurgel's weird cars.
