Origineel Nederlands

A very late R16. The yellow head lights match perfectly with the colour of the car.

The R16 was presented in jan. 1965. The hatchback concept in combination with front-wheel traction was at the time very modern.

It was designed by Philippe Charbonneaux (1917-1998) in cooperation with Gaston Juchet.

For 1971 the R16 got a restyled rear end.

For 1973 the luxury R16 TX was added with lots of standard options and accessories.

Her double head lights makes it easy to recognize a TX.

The compact hatchback Kadett City was developed as an answer on the small Ford Fiesta.

This is a Mk1 with the indicators still under the front bumper bar. In May 1977 the 'L' models received a renewed front end and in Autumn 1978 all other models followed.

 

In the UK this model is known as Vauxhall Chevette, which came a bit earlier on the market than the City.

In other countries GM offered this car as a Holden, Isuzu, Daewoo or Chevrolet.

The Kadett City was assembled in Portugal from 1976 onwards.

 

In the back the 1976 Renault R12 Break is visible.

 

1196 cc.

Production Kadett-C City: May 1975-1979.

Ford Fusion in Delmenhorst.

The fist-generation Honda City - Honda Jazz in Europe - was a subcompact hatchback. While the city's layout was traditional for its category, with FWD and a transversely mounted engine, its relatively upright seating arrangement was innovative, creating legroom comparable to larger cars. This, combined with class-leading fuel economy, led to it being a rapid and considerable success in the Japanese domestic market. It was also available with the Motocompo, a special 50 cc folding scooter constructed to fit in the City's small luggage area. This is a rare Turbo with special body panels.

Cars and trucks from mainland China are hard to catch in the Republic of China (Taiwan), pretty interesting, isn't it? Most common are the Geely Panda and Geely Panda Cross, marketed by Yulon Motor as tone M'car and W'car respectively. These weren't particularly good value - for the same money you could buy a Hyundai i10, imported from India. The Emgrand EC7 and EC7-RV were badged M'way and Q'way, but these are really rare.

 

Chery tried with the Fresh (A1), Apola (A3) and some Karry commercial vans. Chinese truck, bus and commercial van/pick-up company Foton sold some trucks, but it seems all these brands from mainland China have abandoned the Taiwanese market.

 

The Chery A3 was the first indigenous Chinese car to receive a five star rating in the C-NCAP crashtests. The car was styled by Pininfarina.

Chinese name: 起亚K2 (qǐyà K2)

Year of launch: 2011

 

The Kia K2 was launched in China in 2011 as a successor to the second generation Rio and is based on the Hyundai Accent/Verna platform. Unlike the Accent/Verna/Solaris, the Kia K2 was only marketed in China and in Russia, where they confusingly named it Kia Rio. Both a sedan and less popular hatchback are offered. The Kia K2 is one of Kia's most popular cars on the Chinese market, selling over 140,000 examples each year ever since 2012. Late 2016 Kia launched the second generation K2.

And this is the last of the UK registered vehicles from my recently discovered archive. I can't understand why I chose to only take a profile view.

 

The Passat estate with the plate partially in view is F910 KRO. They must've been plentiful enough back then to not warrant photographing, because F-reg B3s have all but disappeared today. Indeed, this one no longer troubles the DVLA.

A Proton 316 GLSi in Delmenhorst.

The Renault 11 Hatchback was launched in Febr. 1983. In fact the 11 was a Renault 9 Phase 2 but not as the more traditional ponton type saloon with a boot.

Both 9 and 11 were designed by Robert Opron.

 

1595 cc Diesel engine (built between 10/1982-12/1988).

Production Renault 11 Phase 1: 2/1983-7/1985.

Production 9 / 11: 1981-1989.

Czech reg. number.

 

This car was for sale in the Czech Republic, Spring 2017.

Unfortunately this is as good a view you can get as the walls to this scrapyard were very high. I do hope to return to see if i can get some better pictures, these weren't the only gems in there.

As mentioned in my last upload, I found myself behind this Renault 5 on my way home from work on Thursday, and it gave me the idea of seeing if I could take my Uno through to where I remembered seeing the R5 in the past. Happily the car was where I expected it to be today, although I had to take these shots rather hurriedly as I was blocking the road. These cars were registered in Edinburgh within weeks of each other, and to my knowledge there are no other surviving cars in the city of that type or age. Although the R5 is looking rough now, there is no obvious rust on it, and it is a testament to the durability of these Renaults. As far as I know it has sat outdoors all it's life, and I'm pretty sure my Uno wouldn't still be around if it had been subjected to the same treatment.

Seen in Reigate, Surrey.

The Ignis returns after a decade away, taking styling clues from the Whizzkid of the 70s/80s.

A rarely seen, Proton Satria Neo R3 sports hatchback on the side of a gated community road. It is fitted with a Malaysian designed, 1.6 liter, 4 cylinder DOHC, 16-valve, multi point fuel injection gasoline engine (Campro CPS).

 

While the car itself is street legal, its fancy license plate isn't. And no, it is not my car. 😁

 

This was an impromptu photo opportunity, actually. It wasn't intended as a "car shot" per se and unlike my usual car pictures, I didn't take additional pics from different angles. I was walking down the road and thought the bright yellow color scheme complemented the nice clouds in the background sky. 📷

HT-75-PN, Opel Kadett hatchback, 12N, 10-05-1982

Nice to see, in Greece base spec saloons are everywhere but not well specced hatchbacks

Registered: 22/12/2000 near London NW.

 

First generation Lagunas are now becoming a rare sight. The Mk2 was months away when this example - probably a base or run out edition - was registered.

Glen Burnie, MD, August 15, 2021.

'96 facelift 106s are still common, more so than related Citroen Saxos. Pre-facelifted 106s are however very rare. This example comes in the upmarket XT trim with the 1.6-litre petrol engine.

 

The MK1 is a special car for me as I learnt to drive in an L reg 106 Mardis Gras diesel some 20 years ago.
