I've got some pictures from that museum but they're actually prints I'll have to scan

What's the red car? I originally thought Datsun Sunny but it has a different grille and scutter panel vents.

Datsun 1200 maybe (with a couple of spotlights fitted)?

[edit] -  I've just twigged that the car I knew as the Datsun 1200 is just a Sunny but exported here - oops

[EyesWeldedShut]

Apparently that's a Sunny PB110 - maybe your boy?

What the hell is this thing?

No original badging visible.

[chaseracer]

Going by the grille, it's a Jeep... 😉

Some sort of Peugeot concept that my Mum photographed when we went to Paris about 14 years ago.

 

[Pieman]

Peugeot Moovie, a concept car that features in a book I own called "Daft Cars".  It won a design contest by the company in 2005, but no one seems to know why.

  Quote

2004-2005[edit]

This contest was won by André Costa with Moovie. His was a bubble-shaped 2-door, 2-seat city car, almost totally enclosed by glass. The creator has stated that the car was designed to be environmentally friendly and ideal for use in cities.^[7]

It won the biennial Peugeot Concours Design competition

Any idea what this is? The only clue is the photo's title - 'Poland '60's'

[Spiny Norman]

Google reverse image search says it's an FSO Syrena Sport.
Concept car from the late 50s, never made production.

^^^ Thanks, makes sense...

Chop up your Sedona into a luxury* camper - fine. Drill a hole in a Mini and the DVLA are out for blood...

Still, you won't be parked next to another one on your holiday to Bognor

Also - is the door sticker a flambléd horse?

Is that a C15 Romahome body tacked on the back?!

Looks like it to me

[Aston Martin]

I'll tell you what's impressive, it's the correct width.

 

So, did they start with a Kia or the Romahome?

I think a metric shit tonne of wob may have been involved in the unhappy marriage.

This is the same vehicle before a new owner decided to go for the hearse vibe.

Thanks, what a lovely looking thing. Plenty of Italians in Glasgow, could be a yearning for home?
