I'd say, that noone else of us ever saw this car.

It's a Felber Lancia, based on the Beta.
Wiki says
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felber_Automobiles
(sorry, not on English) "a few of them were built" - so the exact numbers are unknown.



Yesterday I saw a bunch of Opel-prototypes, as it seems the next Insignia and Mokka, also a few camouflaged large Pick Ups in US style.
We had a meeting of the association of German classic car clubs, hold as the years before at the Opel Test Center in Rodgau-Dudenhofen nearby Rüsselsheim

(Dutch, but the best pics from Dudenhofen - making pics is absolutely forbidden there).


And now for something completely different!
For our DVLA-checkers:

PVF 6

spotted yesterday, too.

unfortunately a photo was not possible

In Eupen/Belgium I spotted today a car dealer with two illuminated "Lada official dealer" signs from the 80ies.

Very nice. Not really that exotic, but the hideaway headlights and slightly more aerodynamic front end gives it a bit of distinction, even if the rest of the car is just a standard 1970's 5-door hatchback.

I saw this Ram 3500 towing a 1970's Kenworth K-100, a Clark forklift and other items on a flatbed last March.

Optimus !

I've not added anything to this thread for a long time, let's start with a badge-engineered obscurity:


90s Volvo police car spotted on the set of a period film:


Quantum kit car:


Nice SAAB:


Ugly Escort:


Some sightings from the Canary Islands:








Who says the Panda is an endangered species?


Possibly the last car in the world one would expect to be plastered in Harley Davidson logos:



Would have been more suited to this thing:


Exumed Shogun badly facelifted by the Koreans:


Exumed Series Land-Rover badly facelifted by the Spanish:





Back to Britain for a badly photographed Cortina:


Retro Fleur de Lys van used by Tunnock's Teacakes as a marketing tool, spotted parked outside my local supermarket:


Something similar, but for Animatronixx, an Imperial hearse based on the chassis of an old London Taxi:

Yes, it was this Adenauer-Benz, in the condition as visible on the photos.

It was on a trailer with German plates going northbound on the A45 from Frankfurt direction Dortmund.


@Sandie: when I had been on Gran Canaria over 20 years ago, I was bewildered about the plenty of cars with expired and/or forged German and other Middle European plates...

I found this odd combination a few days ago.

i saw a similar thing too, but " à la " GMC
Yukon with a 2007-2013 Sierra face, no pic as i was driving ( and camera is now dead anyway )


also seen this summer, 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla painted as the Jurassic Park Explorer ( no pic for same reason as above but my camera was still working back then )

seen today
Hyundai KONA Electric
licence plate : GAZFINI ( could be translated as No More Gas or Done with Gas )


( since last year vanity plate are available here )

I spotted two elusive vehicles today at campus. A 2012 Suzuki Equator and a Mercury Monterey minivan!

https://www.deviantart.com/auroraterra/art/2012-Suzuki-Equator-Sport-797169645

I was only able to take a quick picture, but I think the odd one out is pretty obvious. Spotted just outside the town of Rendsburg/Schleswig-Holstein:

Those are two increasingly rare ones!

Gamer, I'm guessing the Toyota Sienna is out-of-place?

You got it.

Indeed. However, this is not the first Suzuki Equator I've photographed. My college campus has TWO of these! The same with the Monterey, second time I've found one!

This one isn't rare but it's a mint 1987 Dodge Caravan SE with ZERO rust. For New York, that's rare in itself
https://www.deviantart.com/auroraterra/art/1987-Dodge-Caravan-SE-796356008

there is a 1987-1990 Caravan in my area too . Not totally rust free but in way more decent shape than some ( now most ? ) of its newer descendants

Borgward BX7 in the center of Brussels:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgward_BX7
With a Luxembourgian plate.
Is it already sold in Europe?

Here is something I do not see too often. A 1984 Plymouth Reliant SE Wagon in pretty good shape for it's age.
