Cars you never knew existed

Isuzu Impulse

Isuzu Impulse - was called Piazza on UK shores!

Near bought one of these on eBay last year! Needed some work which I didnt have the funds to cover then but I want one again now!

Mind blown. Never knew they made a 3000GT with a folding top.

And this lovely specimen, the Clio saloon. Bleurgh.

405 coupe

Z3 coupe .................... nothing strange there you say. Only this one is a 3.0, not an 'M' car. Similar to comparing an M3 and a 330ci. They sold them in other parts of the world but we only got one model in the UK, the full-fat Z3M. Front brakes give the game away slightly. Still looks the part @Woodcutter

That z3 is very likely a US version, it's got the extra lights on the bumper

 

[AMG]

Superb car. There's a daily driven one in glenavy.

Really would never have thought there was one as close to home!

@Gaz I think that 405 may be a photochop?

 

[Dub_cub 89]

Yea the 405 is a bit iffy now that I look at it

renault sport spider. seen one in Niderau/Austria one year while on ski trip. comes with no roof & was just sitting in hotel car park in middle of winter & snowing!!

The initial ones had no windscreen. Was chatting to an older guy with a yellow one in Ballynahinch several years ago. Haven't seen it around lately.

I think you made that up aswell.

Outside, NOW!

By the looks of this thread, Renault make some weird abominations.

The Alfa Romeo Arna. A rebadged Datsun Cherry with an Alfa engine.

Unreliable and pig ugly. If it had been a Datsun engined car with Alfa styling...

These were sold all over Europe.

It was a real car that was up for auction, i put a thread up about it years? ago.

But it was only a concept car that never got sold in any manner

Someone beat me to it but no, it's not a chop, just a ****ty quality photo.

 

[Dub_cub 89]

I was deliberating over correcting that, but I didn't want to seem too pedantic.

 

[Gaz]

It reminds me a lot of an 80s 6 series coupe.

It's ok, I fully expected this thread to bring out the cynics

Another shocking looking Renault
