Most obscure car you’ve owned?

[Peter C]

I’ll start, I had a Mahindra Indian Brave.

 

 

Who’s next?

[GeordieInExile]

306 GTi-6 phase 2.5. Not many left on the road and they never made that many of that phase to begin with.

[barefoot]

A Trabant and a Vel Satis. Both utterly shit in very different ways.

[paulscavalier]

Mrs cav had a kia pride 2008-2010. Definitely obscure.

[Tamworthbay]

Robin Hood 2B built from a kit, well I say kit, more random assortment of shite which may or may not have been car related.

The owner Richard was an unusual sort for sure, the videos were hilariously bad and he would frequently get to a tricky bit and say something like ‘when you get to this bit it will be obvious’ which really meant it’s hard so I couldn’t bothered to sort it properly. Mine was an early one with the awful sliding pillar from suspension made from the macpherson strut inserts from the donor Sierra.

This was a bit of an oddball. Chevrolet Aveo. Bought new in 2012, chopped in when the finance was paid up.

 

100% Corsa D underneath, 1.2 engine but tax wasn't that cheap and economy was terrible.

I can’t remember ever seeing one of those on the road.

[paulscavalier]

Me neither

[cort16]

Renault Avantime. Not many made and sunk Matra.

we had a Suzuki sc100 whizz kid ......  it was fun .....

With people like Barret/Bickle/Glover on here nothing I've ever owned is going to cut it. So I'll go with the only one I've ever owned that I have never seen another RHD example of;

Identical colour , roof and wheeltrims to this just in RHD.

I bought a seized Commodore saloon and swapped the low back vynil seats for red velour( of course they didn't tilt) I was going to use the alloys too but they were 5 stud and the Rekord only 4. Mrs N ran it for 18 months then my brother crashed it and sold it to a banger racer.

Oltcit 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

VW K70L

My first car, loved it:

 

[Supernaut]

I've not owned anything that could hold a candle to any of the hardcore shiters, but this was somewhat obscure if you think about it.

 

 

Audi A4 1.8T quattro Sport. Bit of a mouthful.

 

It had a sports interior, sports suspension, unique 17" wheels that were only used on the 1.8T quattro Sport, white dials (again only used on this exact model).

It had a whopping 180hp to drag its lardy arse around, so it wasn't all that fast, and it was an utter bastard to get parts for.

 

My one was also a mental colour; Java Green. Nobody else on the Audi forums had seen one in that colour.

[Ohdearme]

I would hope my brain would purge the memory in self defence if I ever saw one.

What was it like to drive?

[dean36014]

I've owned a fiat 900 camper van with a graffiti paint job, rear engine Skoda, lads with a genuine body kit, singer chamois coupe. However this is the one I liked the most, Volvo 480

Most obscure for me was a fairly modern Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 Type S about the years ago.

 

2.5 twin turbo and 280ish boho but nobody had really heard a of a Galant let alone a mouthful like that.

 

Bloody good fun though, don’t have a phot to hand sadly.

[warninglight]

I think this might be my most obscure one...

I had nothing to compare it to but loved the engine and engine note, had a very comfy ride.  It was different even in 1982!  Rolled a fair bit in corners and brakes were always lousy.

[chaseracer]

I also built a 2b!

 

No Steve, you failed to complete it then flogged it as a garage ornament!

That is bloody gorgeous. That colour looks great on standard A-series Mantas.

[Schaefft]

Is 1 of 1 in the UK obscure enough?

 

[pshome]

i once had a Daewoo Prince and a Daewoo Tico at the same time, both new from a dealerership that turned out to be a money laundering operation of a Nigerian drug dealer.

[solid61]

Had a Crayford corsair back in 1981,was a stylish looking thing in red with White vynil trim,WRO299F,sold it for £500.00,no silly ford added tax in those days.
