Cars you didn't know existed...

How about a Mercedes G Wagen with an engine from a Peugeot 504 and a 'box from a 604? Made as a joint venture with Mercedes back in 1979, the Peugeot P4 civilian version was too expensive and had no performance so died quietly.

The Golf Plus lives too, evidently. Don't think that's available in the UK now though.

Golf 'SportVan' replaced the Plus, and is sold in the UK. Rare site though!

Do they really expect to sell any more by calling it a sportvan?

Golf SV if you don't mind

Still more van than sport though.

st! My missus bought one of these home the other night as it's their new pool car at work. I quite condescendingly told her she was wrong about it being a Golf SV, and that it was a Golf Plus. I'll have to eat some humble pie on that one.

Yes it would. That is one of the most horrific looking cars I have ever seen.

Not to mention ruining a classic Mercedes 600....

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!!

However one of those in good nick must be a fun little thing to buzz around in!

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!

Seen plenty of Punto cabs, there's one on eBay right now, never ever seen a Corsa one before.
