Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

Yeah spot on. It's a JDM Toyota Will VS (with optional bodykit).

 

Have a look at the Will Cypha, that's an odd one too.

Excellent thanks, you've answered two questions, one of which I never even asked! I've seen a few of those Cyphas about but didn't know what they were. Now I do, thanks. They usually seem to be in some sort of dayglo shade.

 

By the way, you're avatar made me smile. Kevin Eldon as Rod Hull, that takes me back.

I'm assuming this never existed. I like, though.

I've always had a soft spot for estate cars, particularly those of three door variety ..as in many of the more sporting coach-builts. Perhaps it's the overall proportions & balance of these cars, their seamlessness, or the longer (and seemingly more streamlined) length of the glazing ..as well as their inherent usability.

 

Accordingly I was rather taken by this very stylish Citroen CX  . .

Less weird than a Renault 7!

A Vauxhall by any other name is still shit.

Saw this today so I know it exists but I still don't know what it is. A quick Google suggests it's a Toyota of some sort but I'm none the wiser. Some sort of JDM?

The WiLL VS loads of these in NZ (this is the good looking WiLL - looks a bit like Darth Vaders Helmet (ooer) or so I'm told)

The Ginger step child of the family is this

The WiLL VI

Looks like one of those Yankee Grumman things with a Swedish facelift?

Poverty spec Rover 600's...

post-19988-0-58671700-1500155910_thumb.jpg

Saw this posted to a facebook page the other day, and I want it! 

 

Base spec for the win and all...

I would love to think that 600 has a giant clock in place of the rev counter, or even better a base allegro style cardboard target.

Or a simple plan drawing of a car with "rover" written over"Honda"in biro.

Fiat's baby Rancho? That Fiat 127 estate in the ebay thread was a new one on me too. WOULD to both

I remember seeing a lot of Japanese mini-lorries when I was in holiday in Spain.

I was wondering ..

 

How come consumers in the UK, or perhaps vehicle marketing, don't go for crew cabs light trucks in a big way.?  They are very common indeed in Germany, Holland, and I'm sure other European & Asian countries, and are even common in the US as four door version of their pick up truck.  But here in the UK - they're pretty unusual.  Are UK work practices so different that the extra crew are not needed ?  or perhaps it is an insurance thing ?

Fiat 128 estate. This one is an import but the owner says they were sold new here.

They are unusual as work vehicles but quite common as a low tax option for company cars.

Must be at least 1 tonne payload to qualify which is probably why we don't get the cool east European ones like the Dacia

They certainly did.  September 1975 UK brochure:

Passed by one of these on the M50 'tother day. Guess this is what JLR has been up to instead of designing a new Landrover.

New use for an old (pretend) name.
