Of the posts so far it'd the Lada Niva for me..

Mk 2 Astra was sold in Aus / Nz as the 'Pontiac Le-mans', but I don't know how long after astra production this was stopped.

In some markets it's still a Daewoe

Good thread. Some interesting ones I never knew about...

I nominate the Commer PA/Dodge Spacevan. Early sixties through to early eighties pretty much unchanged I believe. Got nothing on a certain German van, but that got covered already. Oh I do love old vans...

Can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned. Must be a few more surely....

The Century is something different, altogether, and has a V12. It's hand built for royalty, the Prime Minister of Japan, senior government leaders and executives. It's like comparing a S-Class to a Maybach.

We've got a 1989 V8 century knocking about at work, I've driven it a couple of times.
