...The same with this Mazda badged Ford Explorer.
EDIT: It's called the Navajo.
I just remembered this existed...
"Wait...was that a Ford Ranger with three spoke wheels?"

In a similar vein, I saw one of these when I was in Italy the other week:
Just learned that Alfa had their own interpretation of the Willy's Jeep and Land Rover. For those of you, who are wondering, it's called the Alfa Romeo Matta.
Never knew it existed!
Called the "35AR8 camping car" as far as I can tell, with the 35AR8 being a commercial vehicle in general - a Fiat-based chassis van sold in various configurations. Paint it Rosso Alfa and use it to tow your old GTAm and you'd be onto something...

Saw one of those when I did the camping half of my US trip a few years back. It instantly became one of my favourite RVs. Lightweight, low, and pretty frugal by RV standards. They're supposed to handle well (relatively, I'd imagine) due to the low centre of gravity too.I saw one of these a good few years ago on the M25.
BMW powered Vixen motorhome.

I saw this car at VIR yesterday during the Historic Races. Anyone know what it is? I'm stumped.

TA22 Celica?
edit: Google confirms that it's a TA22 Celica. That thing was built from 1970-1977.

The Fullbore Mark 10:
What I know from looking at it is that it's a Hindustan Ambassador (née Morris Oxford). What I didn't know is that the Fullbore was sold in the UK until 1998. At the time it was priced at £11,065. To put that figure into perspective, it was £85 more than an entry-level VW Golf...

I knew about the Century Royal built for the Emperor, but I was unaware of a hearse version.

Saw this Mazda 6 Wagon the other day. Didn't even know they made them let alone sell it in the states.

-> Hatches are different (love them too). But wagons are very endangered in the US:
- Legacy Wagon = Gone, NO! The Outback doesn't count
- Mazda6 Wagon = Gone, I could go back to Manila to get one.
- Levorg = Nope, denied.
- Passat Wagon = Gone, our Passat is different compared to Europe's
- SS Wagon = Nope, go to LeftHandUtes.com to order one
^ Only Volvo and some (bland) Germans models (except the E63) are the only ones that are hanging on.
BT-> I'm aware of the Leon Cupra R series, but never a 300hp version!

My father owned one from 2004-2009 and loved it.

Anyway, I found out about this German tourer from the 1930's last night. It should be Donald Trump's official car if he became President (which I hope he doesn't).
1932-1938 Adler Trumpf. It was supposed to be the pre-Hitler "people's car" for Germany, but never succeeded. Almost 25,000 Trumpfs were produced in six years.

I find CUV's unappealing. Plus, you can make a shooting brake out of a normal car.
