Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

[Felly Magic]

The Datsun Figroll, Pao and S'cargo were all bizarre, and largely all automatics, and built on the Micra platform, and rot even worse than a proper Micra underneath

[D Spares & Tyres]

Nope, non of them... If it wasn't for the R plate I would have thought that Fiat had bought out a recreation of the early Topolino.

[Six-cylinder]

Another car I have never seen before, the owner said he was not surprised as he thinks only 6 or 7 were built.

 

M.C. Acer kit, this one built by the owner built from Vauxhall Firenza mechanics and Dolomite dash by the current owner.

 

[Pillock]

You know that bug eyed Corolla they did?

 

A saloon one of them. The rear looked utterly at odds to the front end, like a surprised expression and a dreary rear. Actually now I think about it, reminds me of an ex.

[Faker]

Farking group b lada samara! !!

 

Farking marvellous looking things!!!

 

Need more info!! Come on lickers!! Educate me!

[Sir Snipes]

I only thing I know about them was one appeared in IIRC Car Wars 5 (one of those 80s Motorsport crash compilation VHS') when Jack Ickx drove over some french geezers motorbike after he had fallen off during the Paris-Dakar. I don't know what year, though Google says 1991.

Saw a SAIC van today.

Saw a dropside one of these on the way home yesterday. LDV on the rear X member caught my eye. No idea they existed. Do they still have the old LDV plant or just the name?

[STUNO]

Just the name. LDV are becoming very common here as the price is much less than Transit etc.

These two are also regular sights now.

I think those T60s are a real looker and they seem to get rave reviews from what I've seen.

Is that LDV SUV 2wheel drive only?

What a mess, it's got to be a niche market surely, there can't be many people that look at that and think 'what a fine looking motor vehicle'.

Not Toyota's finest Corolla moment.

[Supernaut]

That's ace! I want one.

OH YEAHS!

Yep, that's what I saw!

 

Bloody horrible thing but I'm amazed you identified it from my description!

[Sir Snipes]

Go to Dublin and you are guaranteed to see a booted Corolla.

[STUNO]

It looks like it, no mention of 4wd. That may be because of two reasons...

 

1  Because it would never be used for the school run.

2  Because the 4wd has not arrived yet.

 

The t60 ute seems to be only 4wd and that will be the same platform as the SUV.

Perusing manky french chod on LBC I beheld this mighty tin box on wheels. Clearly Citroen's answer to the Trafic.

 

 

 

 

Boom! R18. Break. 4x4! [faints]

 

 

This just because the name makes me giggle.

 

 

[mercrocker]

I saw a Kia Stinger today.   Modern and don't want, I know, but it must be the first car in the last 10 years or so that actually made me look closer at it.   I thought it was one of those Tesla things at first but its nicer looking than that.   This one was like a dark Nightfire red colour.    Its how I would have imagined a 21st century Jagwah to look....

AKA the Fiat 242 which was built from 1974, so a bit earlier than the Trafic...

 

 

Wikipedia says "...Fiat 242 was a van which was produced by Fiat from 1974. This van was the result of a cooperation with Citroën and was sold under the name Citroën C35 in France. Both vehicles were produced in Italy till 1987 with Fiat engines, and then in France by Chausson, when Fiat discontinued the 242. Citroën retained the model until 1992. This cooperation was the precursor of Sevel..."

[chaseracer]

The best ice-cream on the Calais seafront can be obtained from a C35.  It was the furthest away from where we were parked, but naturally we ignored the closer modern vans!

[LC Torana]

I'm deeply, deeply sorry for saying this...

 

 

...but I rather like the look of that.

 

A grille.  Round headlights facing forwards.  Recognizable bumpers.  Tyres with a bit of sidewall,  Even the wheels are nice.

 

Even the name evokes a 1950s Standard.
