Cars you didn't know existed...

Apparently it was developed at Luton, although why remains a mystery, as there was already a Viva estate and the Chevette hatch. Just to uglyfy it even more they stuck a Opel Commodore B front panel and grill on it, and a Chevette instrument panel replaced the Viva one (not a lot of people know that )
What a weird oddball car!

There is plenty of this oddball stuff out there to write a book on the subject:
Anybody for A Volkswagen Chrysler Hillman Avenger?
An Austin 1100 booted and hatchback versions from Australia
Australian Holden Torana HB Viva with 6 inches added at the front end to accomodate a straight 6 engine

Erm... speechless - Mitsuoka website clicky
The Himiko looks fantastic IMO.A chap in my mums village collects AC cars. Occasionally hear the odd original Cobra flying around. He's got an ACE as well, quite a nice thing in the flesh.

Autobianchi A112 Abarth. 70bhp of out and out fun. Great wee car which - I think - was loosely based on FIAT 127 running gearhttp://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/autobianchi/a1...

Indeed, most 4 doors look absolutely terrible (when the car has been designed as a hatch) - the Focus and the Micra are the worst examples IMO - but this one looks quite decent!addz86 said:
Audi S3 saloon, quite nice but I don't really see the point, or knew it existed...
I like small-ish saloons, and generally detest Audis. But that is quite nice - they got the photocopier settings pretty much spot on thereGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
