I'm hoping Maestro VDP with full on slushbox and working squawkbox for the seatbelt warning 

Korean equivalent would be Hyundai Pony of late 80s early 90s if you are truely sadistic

Hyundai XG30… 

Or maybe a Kia Shuma  II

[EyesWeldedShut]

NOOOOO! That's the fugliest thing ever to come out of Korea ever

Cheap as chips though and you get the MB powertrain setup but, "Sorry Barbie, you're too darned ugly"

Mk 2 is better* looking

[EyesWeldedShut]

Mind you - if there was a rofl l I'd be up for it  as my wife hates the Mk 1 more than me - she'd love* having one of those outside the window

Wheels are way too small on these things and the Turismo shitter and the current gen Rex, come to think of it.

It doesn't know what it is!

Someone knows their Korean chintz. 🇰🇷👌

 

[Dave_Q]

Is it a Daewoo/SSsssangyong Musso? 

The key looks right for a Daewoo and someone could have put the merc keyring on because of the engine innit

The keyring should also say built under licence, then. 😑

Ooh yes! The plastic walnut is a dead ringer for both my 1996 Musso and a 1996 Sportage that we had for a while - it is sooooo cheesy. Hopefully you got the lush velour too and none of that scabby, modern leather stuff?

I've just fell over the other Rexton guys on here today (good luck with the b*stard hand brake shoes) - they are an underrated marque IMHO.  @Out Run's comment on the newer ones may have some standing though - I have had the honour* of using a much more recent Rexton with their own 2.2 diesel/gearbox and it is awful in comparison - no power, no torque at low revs, rubbish for towing and really showing the Musso Mk 1 derived design. Beats the excise licence barrier though.

That's one for the 'cars you never knew existed thread' and I didn't but - are those Bini headlights?

Drum in disc like some German cars and Volvos? The handbrake seems fine on this one. 

[EyesWeldedShut]

Euw no - not the 'top hat' ones - you get a separate set of shoes that sit outside the discs - I'll find a picture...

It's an odd mix of MX5, Bini and Lexus V8 bits.

Ooooh nicely done sir!

A Rexton is a strong third place in the Ssangyongs I would like to lick vigorously, after a Mk1 Musso and a Mk1 Korrando.

[Lacquer Peel]

Folks, it could have been an MG.

If you keep on top of them they're OK but most folks ignore them until the next MoT - mine used to screw up mainly 'cos the cables were prone to seizing -  I was lazy with mine as I has an automatic so just used 'P' - that didn't help at the MoT. (I'm grumpy 'cos I hate failing MoTs and the Musso did on the handbrake)

Having said that the design is  a bit weird and there was a lot of yadda yadda on the Ssanyong owners forums about 'they were upside down' etc etc. 
The adjuster is a 'wee fucker' to work out (I'm pretty sure the other Club Members here will have some 'secrets' that they can share)

Mk1 Korando about 10 miles from here that's been up on stands for 3/4 years now - maybe I should knock on the door?
