I thought I recognized it - I spotted this in Harrogate in 2012:

"What do you want for that, a chufty badge?" "Yes please"

I looked at the ad and thought, well if that's a CityRover in the background it was probably put away in 2005 or some such, but if it was on the road in 2012 it might actually be a worthy project.  I had an estate (31 years ago) which would have been a decent car if it hadn't been so severely abused before I got it.

It's a modern Suzuki Alto I think

You have to wonder with these starcrafts why did they not just put the camper part on a normal P100 it would have been a lot more palatable. Why did they not do this and instead decided to cover everything in shite looking fibre glass panels?

Was a development of the Sherwood.

I almost bought a Sherwood, had a test drive at the factory.

Was put right by the then Dutton Owners Secretary who had all the bits for a Sherwood and an "instruction build manual".

It was that bad he wouldn't sell it me.

God knows how any actually got finished

I knew these Coras came with a little 3 cylinder but I had no idea it was so hilariously small in the engine bay.

 

Doing the camchain on these is like an elastic band!

Amost like it's a different language, huh?

It makes the engine bay of my 3 cylinder Swift look cramped!

'brought it off here for £1200 (mid life crisis) within the first month it started to fail! the battery needed changing so did that then a month later the gear box wouldn't select the gears took the gear box off brand new clutch so replaced gear box problem solved! Then less than 2 weeks later the rear axel went so yet again i thought sod it ill do it so did that and then surprise surprise within a week the engine seized on me! needless to say i cant be arsed with this stupid ugly looking piece of crap'

 

 

​TL:DR

 

​It's done an Iveco.

Correct. The part in English is in English. The part in Polish is in Polish.

I'll knock up a wee diagram for you if you're still struggling :-P
