What old cars can you still buy new?

Could a company (say Peugeot) sell the rights to a car that wouldn't meet today's safety requirements (Say, 205) to a low volume car marker, or even start there own arm and begin

I can't think of a single sensibly priced car that I would go out and get a loan to buy brand new other than a modern take on a 205 GTi. I'm sure plenty of other PH'ers are with me on this?

I'd take a nice new E30....

Whilst you can't technically get a new SD1, I seem to remember Rimmer Bros bought a huge Indian warehouse of SD1 components and pressings. Enough to make several hundred complete cars.

Last year you could still buy Peugeot 504 estates brand new in Nigeria. Not sure if that is still the case though.

Dunno why, but I really fancy one of those

Me too. Wonder if I could wire the money to somebody in Nigeria and they arrange to ship the car to me

A hell of a lot of stuff from here is loaded into containers (probably by your nigerian security guards at your place of work) and sent back to sell there cause you can get more for
it like washing machines, fridges etc etc.......... so a few puggets coming back would be interesting to see.

Annyone know where you can still get new `old` ford KAs?

VW Beetle - Brazil?

Met a bloke who had bought himself a spanking new Mercedes 200 (W128) from India about eight years ago. He reckons they're still available.

[sleep envy]

a W128??

blimey!

I'd take a W124 in 300TE form

Not any more, stopped production when they couldn't be used as taxi's anymore I believe. (as was said ) you can get the camper though.
