Cars you had never of heard of

[sparky 274]

Whether you deal in them or not, I expect most of us know every make and model out there, or at least we think we do. Anyway, just finished browsing on Auction View and came across something I've never seen or heard of before, a Suzuki Kizashi. For all I had known before, that could have been a place, something you ride or even eat.

So what undiscovered gems have you come across recently that turned out to be a car?

Always see a fair few abroad that we don’t get over here, usually booted versions of most small hatchbacks.

On a recent trip to Spain most Taxi’s were Dacia Lodgy’s which is basically a Scenic with a different front end.

Mitsuoka Viewt, the Micra that "looks" like a classic Jag...

Had a couple of Honda Streams over the years, 7 seater petrol Civic type estate car, think they only made them for 2 years. Always sold straight away to be fair.

Boxes too, I thought they only cracked heads fa fun. Don't see many that aren't rotten as a pear. 

Not these days they're all past their sell by

I had a broke down tourist with one a few weeks back, fuel filter full of water because Filler neck was rotten, water in tank.

Caned the arse outta that job as it was tourist rates lol, but he was back on road in 2 days, welded up filler neck (off the vehicle lol), new filter and cleaned out tank and pump strainer, voila !!

Smiling tourist with lighter wallet
