They are a 101 underneath, ex army. Some that were built for the film were converted back to normal 101s as they are sought after.

Looks just as good IRL. Yes the hood really is that long.

Well it was sold as a Mercedes in some places, Ssangyong had a JV partnership at the time using Mercedes engines and possibly other parts.

The Sprinter is coming up for replacement, so expect the new one to look kinda sorta not really like this.

Is there a car in recent years that hasn’t had some form of recall?

The Elise does have luxuries such as doors and body panels though. Oh, and a ‘roof’

The 3 is apparantly a reasonable small car which drives well, and it is well priced.

Mostly because there aren’t any American sporting sedans sold in the UK.

The Brits had a great Olympics.

Doesn’t appear to have been properly exported either, it’s still registered but untaxed since December 2009, at 18 months old.

Also owns the worlds fastest street legal electric car.

That’s an average rural main road. Most are smaller, there’s a lot of single track around here.

A style they have carried over for their entire current range.

Jan Wilsgaard, the designer of the 140 and most of the brick Volvos died a few days ago.

It’s not just a wrap, there’s paint overspray on the trunk lid hinges.

That wouldn’t have got this kind of coverage though. Much harder for the dealer to ignore.

They made the Qazana...

This looks like something shiny to use in publicity shots. I’d imagine they have more than one in development.

The boxes are usually custom built by a local manufacturer & not supplied by the factory. I can’t quite tell from the photos but it looks close to a standard 18T in length.
