On the A303 today and spotted an odd looking car.  Something like the size of a Morris 1100 or Allegro and fairly smooth curves.  Rather upright in the manner of a London cab and it had a Jag MkII rad grille on the ectended front.  I think that I spotted something similar in Petersfield earlier this year.

Thoughts welcome!

Actually we're in the general car chat section, so if you don't mind I'm going to call you James May from now on because you don't seam to know where you are.

See, we can all make smart comments, but get them right 

Mitsuoka Viewt?

Exactly.  Thanks for the pic, at least I know that I wasn't hallucinating  (well it was near Stonehenge).  But what is it?  Could it be a Jaguar Popular? Or a Bently Micra? {;-D

Its actually a nissan micra. Im not entirely sure of the backgrounds of it but they made a certain number of them, i think in japan.

As I said, it's a Mk1 Mitsuoka Viewt, based on a Nissan Micra.

 People still blame Thatcher for the decline of our industry. When they do they should be slapped across the face with a picture of this utter tat. 

Brilliant response.  Many thanks, Guys. I shall be able to doze more easily now!

They make some fascinating looking cars. Google the Orochi, for example.

I cant believe they actually made these things! Looks like a cut and shut, before it was identified i was going to say a vanden plas as well.

One of these.

 

 

 Whoever decided that would be a good idea needs to meet Dappy's horse.
