A BYD F3R photographed in Chengdu, Sichuan province, China.
The F3R is the hatchback version of the BYD's bestseller : the F3 sedan.
The F3R was produced from 2007 to 2012 but was more less popular than F3 sedan about 110.000 F3Rs were sold vs 1.400.000 F3 sedans (since 2006).
From 2011 to 2013, BYD produced an update version called G3R but sales were low (6.000).
A Vauxhall Astra 1.3 Diesel Hatchback owned by Northumbria Police, is pictured outside Alnwick Police Station. Now completely plain this was once a marked response car based in the Central Area Command (hence why the plate is only half blocked). It now appears to be a G.P car.

'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.

30 years and Clio still looks spot on, even aged better than the bulbous pre-facelift 1998-2001 Mk2. This 'Phase II' (first facelift) Mk1 Clio is in high-spec RT trim.

Way back the Palio Weekend was sold in the Netherlands, and I always liked that car.
In Poland I saw lots and lots of the Sedan-version, but a Hatchback is new to me. I never saw it before. I still think it's a shame that it wasn't sold here, I like it looks.

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.

IZH 2125 Comby
This is the first generation of soviet hatchback with rectangular headlights (not round like at the second gen) produced during 1973-82. It's rare now.
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.
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.
Original Portugese reg. number: 1976/77/81.
Number seen: 2.

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.

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.
A BX with an automatic gearbox is not the common, specially in combination with a diesel engine. This is the first BX like that which I saw.

The choice if you wanted a medium-size French hatchback in 1986. The Renault 11, as famously destroyed by Roger Moore in 'A View to a Kill', was only a three year old design but the Citroen GSA was right at the end of its life and rather dated, having originated back in 1970 as the GS.
