Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

 I've had the Wind already.

 

Okey     but is that something we really needed to know ?  Sprouts over Christmas have that affect on a lot of folk !

[bunglebus]

Saw one of these yesterday;

 

 

A Subaru Levorg apparently

The logo is like the Toyota starlet . Automotive cockroaches. You just can't kill them . ( cvt aside)

I occasionally spot an imported five door Logo around Manchester:

 

That's a really remarkable spot when you think about it! Imported in 2012.

Alfa Express !

If you want a Honda Logo then you need to go to Central Scotland. Alan Gold on Flickr has photographed at least 10

I saw one of these yesterday. Do t recall ever seeing one before, although that could just be because MODERN

I saw one of those a couple of weeks back in Spalding when picking up the Audi.  They were sold here as the Accent Atlantic for a brief period between the original Accent finally succumbing to old age and the I20 going on sale.  Only ever as a 3 door.

Ever heard of the StreetScooter (sic)?

 

 

 

 

 

Get used to it. Since it's German, it'll soon be the biggest e-car maker in the world rendering the rest insignificant.

It has DHL money behind it, which makes even Elon Musk look like a beach bum.

Another chance missed by the nation that hitherto had a monopoly on milk floats.

[Tayne]

StreetScooter are also building electric Ford Transits as DHL have done a deal for the supply of Transit gliders.

 

You have to wonder why none of the big boys said yes when DHL case knocking with an order for 70,000 EV vans.

A couple of old snotters I've not seen before, Jennings bodied Standard 8 and Triumph 9. When I were a boy there were lots of wooden contraptions of this type about, most on their last gasp and riddled with woodworm. My favourites were rebodied ex WW2 stuff. They were hopelessly uneconomical with low compression sidevalve engines and final drive ratios more suited to military conditions.

[Pillock]

Visibility looks awful, looking out of it must be like peering through a letterbox!

 

You drive a Bentley. Why would you want to look at the outside world?

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I saw this thing a few times in West London. Didn't know it was electric, didn't know it was Chinese. Seems to be the first-ever Chinese car to get over here, and in right-hand-drive.

Aside from a few dozen MGs...

BYD, Build Your Dreams, started off as battery manufacturers then got into cars and are into buses in a very big way. Most of the electric buses in London have BYD units under them.

Aside from a few dozen MGs... 

Sorry, I meant one they had designed themselves, rather than taking an existing brand, but I get your point.

[Zelandeth]

For me the recent one has been the Invacar.  Despite them being *right* up my street, I'd honestly never heard of them until the recent thread on here.

 

Honestly not sure how I managed that...

 

Now I just need to find one.

[quicksilver]

Less than 12 hours into the year and I did a learn about a car I'd never heard of. This isn't a Triumph Renown. I said it was and the owner corrected me.

 

It's actually a Triumph 1800 Town & Country Saloon, the Renown's predecessor that might look the same but is very different underneath. Hands up who thought the Renown was the first post-war Triumph? You're all wrong.

[Zelandeth]

Um...This thing!

 

 

 

I have no idea what it is...

[Jim Bergerac]

Enfield 8000.

There's an electric dragster version of this somewhere on YouTube.....

∆∆∆ Thats a right pair of buggerooters you got there.

[Mr Bump]

Enough logo, check this mother. GS, Break, Service. Woah

 

[barrett]

Oil-cooled 800cc radial triple with fwd? Now we're talking!

 

I didn't think I'd ever heard of that before, but a quick Google shows the more familiar 1200cc version which I have definitely seen. I don't think I knew anything of its mechanical specification, though. Brilliant.

[cros]

I once suffered badly bruised nuts trying to bump one of these off. I also caught my knackers on the edge of my GS van's seat when jumping aboard after attempting a solo push start.

 

Due to the forum censorship rules I can only offer a photo of the van, not the nads.

What happened to the 'double entendres' thread?

If you want, we can give you one.

Citroen LNA enterprise, which is the 'van' version. Haven't confirmed whether this came in 652cc form yet!

 

 

 

[chaseracer]

That seat/bulkhead arrangement is brilliant.
