Cars you didn't know existed...

I never knew the XKSS exited until I saw one in a museum the other week. Only 16 ever made (plus 9 that were destroyed in factory fire), with only 12 apparently still in existence. Road going version of one of my favourite cars.
Sadly my photo's not great so here's one form the internet

I give you the corsa B cabriolet. I saw one of these on the road once and thought that the owner had retrofitted it, I was wrong!

Every Corsa I have ever driven has been either a chore to drive or the height of banality. http://www.classic-auctions.com/Auctions/08-12-201...
I suspect cars like the 206CC put paid to this.
The description saying "plenty of pleasurable motoring" is blatant misrepresentation....

This just popped up on a facebook group I follow, never seen or heard of one before... The mighty Honda Z600
From this Ebay Ad
The one thing that hasn't changed during the life time of the car (apart from some of the earliest) is the number plate, so I always find that a good way to judge scale. On that basis, that thing must be tiny!!From this Ebay Ad
However one of those in good nick must be a fun little thing to buzz around in!

Though many will be familiar with the Suzuki Cappuccino and the mid-engine Honda Beat, not many have heard of Mazda's kei car brand, Autozam and this was their mid-engined AZ-1
Like most of my knowledge of obscure Japanese metal, I know all about these as a result too many hours playing Gran TurismoLuS1fer said:

Reminds me of an RS200. One that did rude things with an MR2 and didn't take precautions. I like it.Edited by wildcat45 on Tuesday 15th December 00:42
