Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

Toyopet chat - I think you're both right Toyopet is a chain which sells selected Toyota models. The strange thing about the Estima I saw was that, unlike other JDM Estimas I have seen, Toyota badges were completely absent; it only carried 'Yokohama Toyopet' monikers.

Sensible doors, big windows, and usefully square luggage space for a city car, and aside from the single rear facing canon ..otherwise boring styling.  

But the name does translate from Chinese 'Goo' to mean in English . .

This fantastic little thing just came up for sale on my Facebook feed. What a great little truck, looks almost Australian in its design?

 

A bargain* at £9795 for a 2002, 91,000 mile Jimny.

That 375/4 hiding behind Myglaren's Monica , reminded me how much I used to love Monteverdis, when I was a kid. I blame my Dinky 375/S and Top Trumps.

Anyway, I. Sure some of our younger viewers haven't even heard of them , so feel justified in putting these up.post-17414-0-68692000-1544984208_thumb.jpegpost-17414-0-52988300-1544984224_thumb.jpeg

That's the Talento, based on the Renault Trafic. The Vauxhall Vivaro is being canned this year and replaced with a rebadged Citroen Dispatch.

Wow Honda really did stuck their badges on to any old 4x4 they could find back then.

Didn't realise these came from the factory with rear seats but no windows. Must have been a Lincolnshire special, they should have called it the Gangmaster.

What is it?

 

Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin with his car (don't know why it has such a big aerial).

It's a Rene Bonnet Djet, later Matra Djet after Matra took over Rene Bonnet's enterprise and possibly the world's first mid-engined production sports car. Here's a RHD UK-supplied one.

As an aside they also did a four door Range Rover, before the factory started doing them. I remember the lack of Marina door handles.

Recently, I was in India and learned about the existence of several cars. I learned that a new model Hyundai Verna 2018 was released in India, and I also learned about the existence of such brands as TATA and Mahindra.

If I allow moderatov, then I will share with you a link to these machines. Here is the new Verna for sale https://autoportal.com/newcars/hyundai/verna/ , although I thought they were missing in 2011.

Also, on this site you can see the rest of the cars that I called.
