PrinceRupert Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Love a trip to a country where chod is very much a way of life rather than a fringe hobby. Keep meaning to post up the pics of the endless chod I saw in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Still can’t believe they kept the Taunus going until something like 1993. I once went to Turkey for the day (don’t ask...) and it was wall to wall Fiat 131, Renault 12 and 11. Plus Ford Cargos as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_FM Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The Fiat 131 was made in Turkey as the Tofas for years. They make a lot of Fiats for "developing markets" which we don't get here apart from the Tipo. Peugeot 301 is another "2nd world" model I saw when I was there recently. Also quite a few booted versions of cars you can only buy as hatchbacks or estates, especially Renaults. Oddly not many older Japanese cars, some 1980s Mazdas were the oldest I could see. I presume with locally made cars there wasn't a niche for them. Land Rover products seemed the most common British cars, including a ropey 1980s-90s Range Rover at Dalaman airport in the car park. Only saw 2 new Minis. BMC lorries are common, which I think started as a CKD operation, along with Ford lorries. I also spotted an abandoned Mk4 Escort which I think were made there after Ford stopped production & sold off the tooling. As mentioned above Portugal is good for older cars, at least it was went I was there in 2009. Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Loads of Transit Mk3 in Portugal, moreso in rural areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeh Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Used to holiday in Turkey most years until about 2014, some of the chod here brings back a lot of memories - most of the taxis were the 80s/90s Tofas models, although largely replaced by Doblos and a couple of Dacias last time I was there. I remember the Peugeot J9s used for the local 'dolmus' bus services. I go back in a month, and I'm glad it's still a bit choddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Went out to Turkey in 2008; was surprised and delighted to see so much tat still in circulation. Plenty of Otosan Fords and Tofas Fiats, plus Renault 11s and 12s still blatting about - and a handful of 70s yank stuff, too. Highlights included what looked like a municipal car pound in Altinkum with dozens of dusty Taunuses and Capris lying abandoned, and a mega-rare Anadol A8 parked in a quiet residential street. chodweaver, MiniMort, Shite Ron and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any Tofas taxis but plenty of cars were painted yellow so probably had previously been used as Taxis. I didn't seen any J9s, but most Dolmus routes were using more modern minibuses with bodywork a little high for the wheelbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedracer Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I wonder if our attitude to cars in the UK would be different if we had a drier warmer climate where cars lasted longer? People got used to cars having a short life in the 60's and 70's due to no rustproofing and copious amounts of road salt and the must change attitude has endured.

They continued with the MK2 till the 90s, they got different options to us so there are some real odd balls out there. Just need somebody to fetch a load of body panels over..
