The Scorpion logo on the wheels tells us the brand. I have never, ever seen one.Quote:

2. the scorpion logo identifies it as an Abarth, an italian company that produces tuned up engines for fiat.
The Fiat Coupe didn't come off the production line until late 1993, and right hand drive didn't arrive in UK until 1995.
I loved the design and nearly bought one in 2000, the 5 cyl 20 valve turbo, but saw sense in the end and went for a Saab 9-3.
AFAIK Abarth never went near one.
Those wheels are a punter's 'mod'.
Certainly I have never seen one and my friend Mr. Google cannot show me a picture of one. That 20v turbo was a quick car and the one in the picture looks very well cared for. The wheels might be genuine Abarth. I'd fancy a go in that.Quote:

They are considering building in Aberdeen, that's why I came across it.
If they could make it a bit less ugly, it might be a success.

It was a trick question. It's a Toyota Cavalier. There was a small amount of rebadged Cavaliers that were actually Toyotas.Quote:

Most got knicked or wrapped around a lamppost.
^ at work my mate hade a Cosworth, summer lunch we used to go to the cider shop buy 2 gallons and drink them in the car park, the late 80s :)
Drove one of those for a short while. Canary yellow with a matt black roof and some sort of chequered pattern on the seats. It did go well in more or less straight lines, around corners it was unpredictable and since I have never mastered the art of the reverse steer I wasn't unhappy to say goodbye to it.Quote:
