The Volkswagen Up (stylized as Volkswagen up!) is a city car, part of the Volkswagen Group New Small Family (NSF) series of models, unveiled at the 2011 International Motor Show Germany (IAA). Production of the up! started in December 2011 at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The production up! follows a series of concept cars, starting in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. All up! concepts are designed by Volkswagen Group Chief Designer Walter de'Silva, and Head Designer of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars marque, Klaus Bischoff. Shown at the Frankfurt launch were several further up! concept cars, including a 98 hp (73 kW) GT version, a natural gas-powered Eco-up! (with CO2 emissions of 79 g/km) and a four-door Cross model.
The original up! concept car used a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, however the 2011 production model has a front-engine, front-wheel drive layout, using the NSF platform, with a 3-cylinder 1.0 litre petrol engine. A plug-in electric version, called e-up!, was launched in autumn 2013.
The Volkswagen up! won the 2012 World Car of the Year.
The SEAT Mii and Škoda Citigo are rebadged versions of the up!, with modifications to the front and rear designs, and are manufactured in the same factory.
In February 2014 Volkswagen introduced a modified version of the up! for Latin America. The Brazilian-built up! differs from its European counterpart in length (it is 65mm longer), thanks to revisions to the floorpan's rear section to accommodate a larger fuel tank (50L instead of Europe's 35L), a full-sized spare wheel and more cargo space. All versions have revised tailgates with a painted metal section (like the Seat Mii's and Škoda Citigo's) instead of the dark glass trim used in Europe. The 5-door Brazilian up! also uses a different rear door design with sectioned glass and wind-down windows. The South American model retains the European version's safety levels with a five-star crash rating and ample use of high-strength steel elements.

Launched in 1976, the Renault 5 Alpine (Renault 5 Gordini in the UK) was one of he very first 'Hot Hatches', pre-dating the Volkswagen GTi by a couple of months. The 'Alpine' part of the name referred to the eponymous tuning firm and sports car manufacturer, which had historically enjoyed close links with Renault and been absorbed as the latter's competitions department in the early 1970s. Powering the Alpine version was a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine boasting a cross-flow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers, which delivered its maximum of 92 bhp via a five-speed gearbox. Stiffened suspension and alloy wheels were included in the package, and thus equipped the Renault 5 Alpine was good for a top speed of around 110 mph (177 km/h).
This particular Renault 5 Alpine was first registered in Greece in April 1978 and had enjoyed only three owners prior to its acquisition for the current vendor's private collection in 1999. We are advised that it comes with documented history from new. A full 'last nut and bolt' restoration was undertaken between 2000 and 2002, with many hard-to-find parts replaced with new-old-stock components including all lights, bumpers, wheels, door handles, upholstery, etc. Described by the vendor as in excellent running condition, this rare survivor of the early 'Hot Hatch' era is offered with Greek registration papers.

It's amazing what you can find when waiting in the countryside for the next train. Scouting the lake at Wrawby Junction for some interesting wildlife, I spotted something lurking in the depths. Not sure of the exact species; probably either Fordus Fiestii or the lesser spotted Nova Vauxhallus.

A Datsun 210 hatchback - the most attractive body style 210/B310 in my opinion. At a car lot in Great Falls, Montana.
Very nice 2012 Ferarri parked at picnic area at Green Lake this afternoon, in the right place at the right time.
A modification for my Subaru Vivio T-top MOC i did 7 months ago. Decided i want to finish this one as originally planned.

Always liked the look of these Honda Accord hatchbacks. Actually saw two in a short period of time. I liked this for the mismatched wheels - an alloy on the front and stock hub cap at the rear.
The Peugeot 307 is a small family car produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot since 2001, succeeding the Peugeot 306 which ceased production in 2002. It was awarded the European Car of the Year title for 2002, and continued to be offered in China and certain South American markets through 2014, despite the French launch of the 308 (its intended successor) in September 2007.
The 307 makes use of a reworked 306 platform, that can also be found on the Citroën Xsara as well as the 1991 Citroën ZX. However, the car is larger than the 306 in every direction. The 307 continued the company's styling first seen on the Peugeot 206 and Peugeot 607.
With upswept front lights and a steeply rising bonnet leading to a highly sloped windscreen (and the upright rear doors first seen on the 206), the 307 departed from the Pininfarina designed themes employed on the previous two generations of Peugeots, as introduced with the Peugeot 205, and ending with the (evolutionary) Peugeot 406.
Its height is 1,510 mm (59.4 in), which is in the middle of the spectrum between small family cars (between 1400 and 1450 mm) and compact MPVs (between 1600 and 1650 mm). Some consider the 307 as a low compact MPV rather than a tall small family car, because of its height and profile.
The 307 was launched as a three and five door hatchback, though in June 2002, the range of the 307 was expanded with the introduction of two estates, the 307 Break and 307 SW.
Internally though, the 307 Break is a conventional estate, while the SW features an optional third row of removable seats, so it is more flexible due to its MPV like configuration. The SW exists, because Peugeot did not develop a compact MPV spinoff, as Citroën did with the Xsara Picasso, instead preferring to offer a more flexible version, but maintaining the style and road manners of an estate.
Unlike the previous model, there was no saloon version, but one was designed for emerging markets, such as China and the market in Latin America, as saloons were much preferred to hatchbacks. The 307 CC, a cabriolet with a retractable hardtop, was launched in August 2003, to compete against the new European coupé cabriolets.
A new, four door saloon version of the 307, was launched in China in June 2004. The 307 is produced for the market in China by the Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, a joint venture with the PSA Group.
The Renault 9 series appeared in 1981. It was designed by Robert Opron (Fr, 1932-2021).
The Renault 11 followed two years later. It had a 3- or 5-door hatchback body. It could be distinguished from the R9 by the standard double headlamps.
The Renault 9/11 series was the successor of the 1976-1983 Renault 14.
The face-lifted R9 Phase 2 version was launched in 1987.
1237 cc L4 engine runs on LPG.
Performance: 55 bhp.
Production Renault 9 series: Oct. 1981-1989 (in France).
Production Renault 11 series: Spring 1983-1989 (in France).
Production Renault 9 this version: 1981-1987.
Original old Italian reg. number: 1982 (type 1976-1985, Palermo).
