Name that car!

Hi guys, back from a trip to South Africa, spotted this but can’t find out what it is! Can you guys help?

Looks like a jazzed up Datsun Violet.

But, if you want a name I'd call it Brian.

Mitsubishi Colt GS I would guess at, been hacked about a bit.

Looks like a Mitsibushi Colt Galant GS (as said above)

Yup, reckon you're right. That's a Datsun/Nissan - they were big in SA back in the day.

They had some strange stuff out there. How about a nice Ford Sierra XR8....?

Anyone know what the old black car is behind the Hyundai in the first picture??

Same car type with vent and vinyl removed

Get a whiff of Cortina MK3 but I might be way off.

Boots more angled downward.

This one?

Same as the orange one then.

Maybe one person owns both....

because of where the front indicators are I think it is a Datsun Bluebird 180b. My Dad had one back in the day.

Me too, I thought the orange car having "Colt" on the wing badge & "GS" on the rear panel was a bit of a clue, myself...
