Actually a British military vehicle. The Royal Navy bought a batch from the Citroen factory in Slough, west of London. Not sure what they thought they would do with them, but there are a few photos around of them parked up on a Carrier deck.

OK, I understand the camera bit, but why is he carrying a can of Spam on the other side?

yep, Pininfarina did quite a few cars for the British Motor Corporation in the late 50s. The A40 and it's predecessors the A30 and A35 were the platform that the Austin Healey Sprite and MG Midget were based on. Hence a ready supply of tuning bits is still available. Don't bend any of those body panels, though, as…

it's a Citroen. The astronomical repair bills start about 5 hours after the end of the warranty period.

So did this one.

Liege kit car! Never thought I would see one of those on Jalopnik. Wonderful little 850cc trials car. Only a few dozen were ever built.

I think the very last models had unassisted inboard disks, cooled by two special ducts from the engine fan. They were just as crap as the drums, though, so 'powerful' probably wasn't the best adjective. But hey, at the time Citroen were advertising 'four round wheels' as a desirable feature.....

As an alternate approach, British engine genius Allen Millyard built a 5 litre V-twin motorbike engine using two cylinders from a Pratt & Whitney Aero engine. (He has also built V-8 and V-12 Kawasakis and even put a Viper V-10 in a bike frame.)

Or the Pinzgauer's baby brother - The Haflinger...

...and the CX was in turn based on the BMC 1800 Berlina Aerodynamica that Pininfarina built in 1967. So Lincoln's futuristic concept was actually closer to 16 years old when it made its debut in 1983.
Oh, and the Cologne V6 wasn't too bad. It was the UK-market Essex V6 (usually 3 litres) that was the total dog.

That would have made a good incident report.
I think that 'Series' landies and Defenders / 110s we're designed to wade up to the tops of the wheelarches as long as the 'wading plug' is installed in the bottom of the clutch housing and/or timing case, depending on the engine spec. At that depth, you will be about up to…

I think the VX were all supercharged, rather than turbocharged. VX was short for 'Volumex' if I remember right. They came out in the UK just before Fiat pulled the plug on the whole Lancia brand, bought back any remaining cars and crushed them. They had to, because if they didn't, all the front cross members would rot…

Indeed! The motor vehicle to iron oxide conversion rate was pretty impressive. A great shame, because they were incredibly cheap to run, and actually great fun to drive, like a slightly less leaky 2CV. The good news is that 59 of them donated their engines, gearboxes and front suspensions for the construction of these…

Daewoo isn't dead, it's just churning out incredibly crappy budget cars for markets all over the world. The Chevrolet Aveo (Daewoo Kalos) I currently drive is without doubt the worst car I have ever owned, worse even than the 1978 Renault 4TL whose back axle broke off the chassis and the 2004 Citroen C4 Pluriel that…

And especially especially a 928 with the 5-speed stick. However if I had bought one new I would have been a bit peed off that the dash looked exactly like the one out of a VW Eurovan!

Hang on a minute - you might be forgetting something.......
