Yup, spot on VN, I've no idea how you could have cheated...? Anyway it's my ex. company wheels in India.

The driver was off that day so I thought I'd have a crack behind the wheel and generally thrash the thing about a bit. I did perhaps get it a bit dirty in the process.

The fellow loved that car and used to keep it immaculately. He would get visibly upset with bugs that had the temerity to kill themselves on it.

Suffice to say I did feel a distinct chill in the atmosphere on the way to the office the following morning.

In case anyone wanted to know it was not actually a bad car at all, given it was designed and built in India. A vast step forwards in terms of refinement over previous stuff they've churned out there. Good torquey diesel engine (but let down by a crap 6 speed manual gearbox) and lots of toys all for about 2/3rds the price of a Fortuner in India (it was priced about the same as an Innova). All in all decent value I thought.

Nice to see another Cortinaman Malcy.

I had a rather boring 1600 Ghia estate when I was a student. It did sport some rather distinguished Granada rims like the one in the picture below. I was well proud of those.



Temptation soon got the better of me and I traded it in after a few months for a Mk 5, 2 litre estate. Had the extra spotlights on the front grille which I think added a sporty, Aston Martinesque touch:



... and what I rather imagined it looked a like:



The Mk 5 was a decent motor from what I remember, although I'm now struggling to find any likeness between it and the AM V8. In my defence I was a student when I owned it and I think it'd be fair to assume that I was likely to have been very, very stoned for much of the time I owned that car.

It could perhaps have been an absolute dog?

It does appear that the horse could have been tethered at the rear so I can see where you are going with thinking it's an early Porsche Bob.



Using the same logic - Skoda?

I did a bit of surfing rather than actually knowing. Some skill involved there I guess but still....

I'm Neal on this one

Another rear engined car! Definitely a Delorean, but it looks like the rear bodywork buttresses are missing. Along with the flux capacitor.....

Came across this one: any takers?
