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 second generation Kia K2 was launched in November 2016, succeeding the successful old model, which has the size of the Kia Rio, but is only offered in China and Russia, in the latter market as Kia Rio, where it one of the most popular cars on the market.

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.

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. 📷

Fourth generation (BE91; 1995)

5-door hatchback

 

The Ford Fiesta is a supermini marketed by Ford since 1976 over seven generations. Over the years, the Fiesta has mainly been developed and manufactured by Ford's European operations, and has been positioned below the Escort (later the Focus).

 

The third-generation Fiesta Mark III, codenamed BE-13, was unveiled at the end of 1988 and officially went on sale in February 1989. The car was based on a new platform, ditching the old car's rear beam axle for a semi-independent torsion beam arrangement, and looked radically different, addressing the principal weakness of the previous generation – the lack of a five-door version, which was by then available in its major rivals such as the Fiat Uno, Peugeot 205 and 106, and Opel Corsa/Vauxhall Nova. The other main change was to the running gear – the improved high-compression swirl version of the Kent/Valencia powerplant. The CVH units from the second generation were carried over largely unmodified. The diesel engine was enlarged to a 1.8 L capacity.

The Mk.1 Ford Fiesta launched in 1976 was Ford Europes first multi-national front-wheel-drive automobile, and was available in both 3-door hatchback and panel van body styles. Originally developed under the Bobcat project name with a breif to have a wheelbase longer than the Fiat 127 (although shorter than some other rivals, like the Peugeot 104, Renault 5 and Volkswagen Polo), and with an overall length of less than Fords own Escort Final proposals for the new Supermini were developed by Tom Tjaarda at Ghia and approved for production in December 1973, with Ford's engineering centres in Cologne and Dunton (Essex) collaborating. with production going to Valencia, Spain, Daggenham, England together with Cologne and Saarlouis Germany. Fords marketing team had favoured the name Bravo, but were over ruled by Henry Ford II who prefered Fiesta, a name previusly used by GM on an Oldsmobile. Although not the first Ford vehicle to feature front-wheel drive (the 1960s Taunus produced by Ford of Germany laid claim to that title), the Fiesta is widely credited as being Ford's first globally successful front-wheel-drive model. UK sales began in January 1977, where it was available from £1,856 for the basic 950 cc-engined model. The car was initially available in Europe with the Valencia 957 cc and 1117cc engines and in Base, Popular, L, GL (1978 onward), Ghia and S trim, as well as a van

 

In 1980 a sporting derivative the 1.3L Supersport was offered in Europe using the 1.3 L (79 cu in) Kent Crossflow engine, effectively to test the market for the similar XR2 introduced a year later, which featured a 1.6 L version of the same engine . Black plastic trim was added to the exterior and interior. The small square headlights were replaced with larger circular ones resulting in the front indicators being moved into the bumper to accommodate the change. With a quoted performance of 0–60 mph in 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 105mph, the XR2 became the weapon of choice for many a likely lad - and lass

Walking back from a restaurant we took a detour through the 'flatty' neighborhood. It paid off.

Even first generation Almeras are thin on the gound, so to find a survivor of last Sunny models to be sold here is a real find.
