Nissan Cima, same colour as this one so it might even be the same one. It's not even on 'how many left', unless it's included under 'Nissan Infiniti', which is what it was sold as in some markets.

Saw a Vauxhall Meriva VXR this morning, not seen one before, suprised they did a Meriva VXR.

That rear almost looks Bristolesque.

177bhp. Which is more than I thought it would have.

The Anadol A8 - Made in Turkey, If there is a sadder looking car than this then I haven't seen it.

That could pass for a Bristol it is so odd looking.

Is it actually based on something we would know?

The Lamborghini Coatl, a modified Diablo made by Lamborghini South America:

God above...it look's as though it's been rear ended.

Ford Pinto engine, otherwise appears to be a native Turkish design.

While we're on the subject of Mk2 Golfs, this is probably the rarest ever.



There were 71 Golf G60 Limiteds made. It had a 16v G60 engine making 207bhp and four wheel drive in a very discreet black 5-door body. (Apart from the two 3-doors built, one of which was written off and one which belongs to VW).

The majority of the Rallye's and Edition One's in this this country were brought over by a couple of mates of mine who both have a genuine 16v G60 engine each!

Taking diffusers to the next level. Where do you put a plate on that, front OR back?

Also, the Anadol Böcek

[ColdoRS]

Renault Wind... i conceed that i knew these existed but i don't recall ever seeing one before.


Also seen this yesterday... i expect its some JDM version that was never sold here?

[RoverP6B]

Anadol sounds like something you'd take to treat the pain associated with piles...

[Jimmy Recard]

Can you imagine Mercedes offering a car in the spec of that 280S again?

I've always really loved the idea of the 560SE rather than the more common 560SEL. But on the list is still a 560SEC.

They'll happily sell you a 4-cylinder diesel hybrid S-Class with cloth seats, 17" wheels, no self-parking and God knows what else!

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline#V35.2...

Nothing to do with the GT-R, more like a 4-door 350Z/Infiniti G35.

Well that's very odd. I saw one of these about an hour ago waiting to pick my son up from school, never really heard of it, certainly never seen one & thought of this thread.

They only made 'about' a thousand (actual production is rumoured to be between 500-1000 and not fully known).

They also made a 1-off NA coupe.

Conversely I always thought the GT-86 would have done much better as a convertible

I suppose that's the modern equivalent of the no rev counter and four speed manual combination

4 cylinder hybrid yes, the rest of it not in the UK they won't
