Thread: Name That Car

It is a car from the east block countries but is not a Lada or a Skoda. I can not think of the name but I think it started with the letter Z. Zawarta or some thing like that.

its a Bond.

in post war britain, aspirational brits seeking to upgrade from motorcycles but couldnt quite afford 4 wheel vehicles which were in short supply, earmarked for export and very expensive often ended up with these tax efficient little things.

cute, evocative and planet friendly, i quite like them.

now here is another british car, yes its an aston martin, and a particularly beautiful and well proportioned design. not many were produced.

without looking at the info for the website from where it was cut and pasted can anyone fully identify it?

tiz indeed a bond type D

Aston Martin DBS

It's an Aston Martin DB American Roadster DB-AR1

I had a friend with a Lotus Europa. He could never get the radio to work without interference. Chicken fence mesh everywhere. Eventually sold it.

The Bundy enhanced toolkit was standard - so not a UK make...

Ok. Here's the exterior. The donor body is still recognisable.....

Hmm, I really don't know American 30's cars. I thought maybe Buick, but the lamps are wrong. Kind of airstreamish, but De Soto maybe?

Alfasud.

Alfasud.... getting there. Actually the body is from the later Alfa Sprint [33 platform] rather than the earlier Alfasud Sprint.
Complete cars were imported into Australia and re-manufactured under guidance of an F1 engineer into a very potent machine; quicker than a comparable Countach...
13 out of the original 15 believed still in existence.
