Cheap small cars turned into all-terrain winter beasts

[torqueofthedevil]

Just wondering which car, thinking a hatch back like a 306, that you could fit raised suspension to and big all terrain winter tyres to. I've seen a few about before but can't find any on eBay.

More just for a laugh than anything else.

Just buy anything that's semi high up, fwd and light then fit winter tyres.

I always wanted an AX for this.

What about this? Jeremy Klaxon's effort from a few years ago.

Don't bother with a hatchback, get a Jimny!

TVR



Reliant



and the PH fave.. MX5!

First gen fiat panda is probably the best one, when I went to Sicily they had loads of the 4x4 variants, often substantially modded. Made a lot more sense than a land rover or jeep which would struggle to fit down the village roads.

The 2CV is still hard to beat!

I saw a Fox version of that in Kiev last week, wish I'd taken a pic.
