I saw a VW Tiago yesterday. Never heard of it before seeing it.

Sub T-cross VW, designed for the south American market and built in Brazil. Very average but will be bought by fashion conscious crossover lovers coz its a premium German vehicle innit. Think Ford EcoSport.

Are those Polo doors?

Not sure but you've given me a great idea for a sport, using Peugeot 1008s and a long mallet

Those ultra small SUVs look strange on the road. They seem to have the footprint of a Polo, yet are jacked up and look like they will fall over!

New one I've just spotted today

Hyundai Staria
It's like 'The Wraith' grew up and became an MPV

That’s the i800 replacement, don’t believe the U.K. will get them

Just looked it up on Hyundai's Luxembourg site.
The seated versions start at EUR45.5k.
I think it looks pretty cool, for a big van, nicer than VW's T7.
If only I needed a big van .....

Allard P4. In an effort to relaunch the brand, defunct British automaker Allard negotiated with Toyota to produce a rebodied Lexus LS400. The deal collapsed, and only three examples were reportedly produced. There is only one P4 left in existence.

My sister-in-law used to date Chris Humberstone who I believe was responsible for this and a few other oddballs. From what I could make out, he bought into old car manufacturers, tried to revive them with odd cars and close them down. Pretty sure he also had something to do with Radford as well with a similar outcome.

Opel GT shooting brake. It's a conversion and I hadn't seen it, so I'm posting it here to duck out of posting it in the decently modified/badly modified thread

I'm sure I remember Counts Cars buying a Corvette that looked similar to that? A corvette 'wagon'

Is that rear hatch off anything in particular?

I like that

This is an independent concept design for an Nissan R36 GT-R / Skyline, mixing the R34 with the R35. I like it

For some reason the whole Lynk & Co phenomenon had passed me by….

Saw this in a hotel car park near Tours at the weekend…

Thought it was a Porsche of some kind to begin with…

Saw one in Amsterdam last week and forgot to look into it.
Looks like an interesting car sharing platform, unsurprisingly its not her yet!

I wasn't aware that reliant robins were available new as late as 2002.

Strictly speaking they weren't , as production ended in 2001 ,but I don't suppose those things flew out the showrooms
so some got left behind to be registered later .

£6.5K seems strong money too .
Some tenuous Delboy nostalgia attached to it ?

I was curious - but apparently these had a carburettor right to the end, and, certainly in 1998, had a points ignition system!

What does that button above the cigarette lighter do, Daddy?

[Triumph Man]

Ah yes didn't actually spot the choke knob! duh!

The use of a carb didn't surprise me too much, but I was surprised that in the very late 90s they didn't have electronic ignition!
