I know I shouldn't look at click bait quizzes, but these amused me!

I'm not certain what this is, but certainly not a Freelander..is it the Spanish built under licence thing?











The 'right' answer to this is Vauxhall 30/98 1913 - 1927!

That's a Czech site, but ARO are/were definitely Romanian - The RO in the name is from the country name... It was sold here as the Dacia Duster back in the 80s.

Not quite sure why q48 is in that selection of otherwise risible questions... That is a Qashqow, isn't it? Built by Geordies...

Same difference.

Or will you try and persuade me that Astras aren't built by Scousers, because there's a river in the way there, too?

That whole six miles from the factory to the Tyne bridge, four to the nearest bit of "your" side of the river...

Theory 1: Idiot hipsters with no brain.
Theory 2: Clever hipsters who realise that if they making glaring obvious errors people like us will get all indignant and share it around the web.
Theory 3: Russian trolls, who've realised they can wreck the western economy by helping us procrastinate.

Not sure that is correct either. Unlike the MkI, the MkIV was a purely American-built car I believe... even if there was still some substantial input from the Ford UK team.

Even the Mk2's were probably more USA than UK.

Aye could be.... might even have a different badge on the back too. One or two of the famous / infamous Abingdon Works rally Coopers were like that, with Austin badges on the front and Morris at the back.

No, there really is a car properly called the "Mini Hatch".
