NSU Prinz anyone?

I had an NSU 1000, which is basically the same car with a bigger engine.  Would like to try a Prinz one day though.

Anyone owned a 1990 to 1996 Hyundai S-Coupe? I was watching 'Car Trouble - Chris Fulke Greville', on YouTube, that featured a dodgy one of those, and thought of this thread. If so, was it any good?

Honda Fit Aria

JDM  saloon version of the mk1 Honda Jazz. And if anyone else thought it’d be a challenge to create a good looking saloon from a Jazz, you’d be dead right…

A few of them grey imported to NZ, I’m fascinated. Most have beige crushed velour upholstery (drool) and come with the option of a rear wiper (saloon rear wiper, double drool)

Think I may have found it

KVD 440/441 / Tjorven 

As a post van

And for @LightBulbFun these also came as an invalid carriage/car

I can see the Dolomite in the basic outline/windscreen but the front end is very Volvo?

No exterior door handle makes it less accessable tho

@Sam Glover might have one  

https://autoshite.com/topic/7737-end-of-year-tat-accounts/page/13/?tab=comments#comment-1692834

last I spoke with stuart about these back in 2021 he thinks there are at least 2 over here, not sure if thats including Sam's one or not

but as I said at the time  slidey doors made of fibreglass and CVT powered, sounds very familiar  

or to miss-quote top-gear "its not a Model 70 its the Model 70's Swedish Cousin"

I had a Mahindra for a couple of years.  Was great fun.

When I worked at Brands Hatch there was a fleet of them for the off-road driving school. Drove one around the grounds and service roads but not on the actual road as I seem to remember they weren’t road registered.

I've been on that off road driving course (and have the photos to prove).  Therefore I've driven a Rocsta.

Never owned or driven?  How about one of these?  Would be my daily driver for taking to Tesco etc if I won the lottery.

Re forgettable nineties and noughties Fiats, I rented a Marea estate once and it was rather good. Only just remembered that now it's come up! 

Vauxhall Albany was a tarted up Midi, wasn't it? Never driven an Albany, but I've done mega miles in Midis.

I had a rented Marea for a couple of days , late 90s, picked up at Heathrow . Can’t remember what company though.

Pretty bland and nothing stands out about it apart from it being petrol as I’d only driven diesel cars for the previous 4 years. Had a Mondeo myself then, wasn’t as good as that.

Surely a Boeing 737 is slightly overkill for going to the supermarket?

How about an Isuzu Gemini?

That looks like it was taken at Ryhope.

The van reminds me of the Type 147 VW Fridolin

I own a Y10 Turbo in many separate pieces.   Anybody driven or owned a Berkeley.

 

[Wack]

I'd be amazed if anyone on here has owned or driven one of there as I very much doubt he's a shiter

Ferrari La Ferrari, I had to MOT check the plate because I had no idea what it was, sounded glorious

Spotted in Stockton heath this morning , heading south , he was heading north 5 minutes before , must've realised he was on the wrong side of the water and turned round back to the safety of south cheshire

Are they really affordable shite now? Always fancied one of those but thought it would take a bit longer
