Here's one I'd not encountered before - the Brubaker Box from the 1970s.

I find it disturbingly cool

Rebody/kit car based on a VW beetle. One of the better efforts though!

re: Renault Flounce, It's only offered in "emerging" or high tax markets, they sell quite a few over here. (ROI)

There's also the electric eFluence…

Fluence is available all over Europe, we don't get it over here as we don't buy saloons in that class. The only Fluence we got was the electric version. I sold a few, but it wasn't a massive seller. If it was based on the Megane hatch or estate we would have shifted more than the saloon version

Spotted an Auris Estate Hybrid, UK model Auris Touring Sports. Didn't think it looked too bad (in dary grey) & without the tree hugger image of the Prius.

If I converted one to LPG would it be the Flatulence?

Lived on for a short while as the MG SV.

I didn't know that (Predecessor: Qvale Mangusta)!

Actually, don't mind the rear view...looks a bit brutish.

VW Corrado Magnum "shooting brake"





Don't think I like it, but surprised I'd never come across it before!

That's a bit of me, that!

I give you the Korres P4. Awesome off road vehicle but also a beast on the road. Not in mass production yet but hopefully soon will be.

taken from wiki "The Korres is powered by a 7.0 litre LS7 V8 Corvette engine which produces 505 horsepower and is capable of reaching 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 300 km/h (186 mph)"

little YouTube linky of its capabilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB4PolRV_JI

Just to stir things up a bit:




Its a UMM Alter.

A Portuguese utility vehicle that was made from the mid 60's through to the early 90's, initially only used for military service... later on sold to the general public. When i was a kid, an uncle of mine had one of these, on slightly raised suspension - it went most places!
Powered by a 2.5 litre Diesel engine that was produced by Peugeot. Not sure if that was a good thing, as i never drove one... but i recall it being pretty nippy!

Sat in the back of one of thse things wilst a frenchman with 0 mechanical sympathy catapulted us up the side of a mountain near Prades (france) the doors were loose in the frames it smelt like there was no coolant in it it made the lada Niva 4x4 seem refined
