GM started producing the Opel Corsa B (Chevrolet) sedan and wagon under the Buick marque in 2001. The Buick Sail came in sedan and wagon (SRV) body styles. It was restyled in 2005, when it was also rebranded from Buick to Chevrolet.
An all-new Chevrolet Sail, with mechanics unrelated to the old Corsa-based Sail, was launched at the very end of 2009 and was developed by the SAIC General Motors subsidiary. It initially came as a sedan, but was quickly followed by a hatchback. The Sail was a tremendous success, topping at 279,740 units in 2012. The hatchback accounted for roughly 10% of total sales and didn't return when Chevrolet launched the third generation Sail at the end of 2014 (photo).

Malaysian city car based on the Daihatsu Move with a 990cc three cylinder engine. Perodua ceased UK imports in 2014. MOT now expired, no surprise giving the previous history and damage to the vehicle.
'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.
The 1510 series was based on the 1975-1979 Simca-Chrysler 1307 / 1308 / 1309, which was designed by Roy Axe. This was a very modern looking car at that time.
The 1979 restyle brought us the 1510 hatchback. The 1980 4-door version was called Solara.
These two models were rebranded as Simca-Talbot after PSA had taken over Chrysler-Europe in late 1978.
In the UK this car was called Talbot Alpine.

An update of the Metro that could trace its roots back to 1980. A dismal EuroNCAP rating in 1997 help usher the end of production the following year.
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.

The Dacia 1325, also known as 1325 Liberta or simply as Liberta, was a car manufactured by Romanian auto marque Dacia from 1991 to 1996.
The Dacia 1325 was the hatchback version of the Dacia 1310. Some photos exist of Dacia 1325 Libertas fitted with the final CN4 front fascia, although rare. It was the successor to the Dacia 1320 hatchback, which was built from 1987 until 1990. At first the 1325 was just an updated copy of the old 1310, but in 1993 it received a facelift matching that of the 1310, and it remained in production until 1996.
As the 1325 cost more than the more desirable station wagon model, sales were limited. Although more successful than the earlier 1320, only about 7,800 examples were built in total. Exports were limited to nearby Eastern European countries and also Greece.
The 1.3-liter, 40 kW engine was only available in the comparably expensive 1325 for the first year of production, replaced by the 47 kW, 1.4 L in 1993.
This remarkable design was made by Gerard Welter in cooperation with Studio Pininfarina. The prototype was presented in 2002. Sales started in April 2005.
The car was relatively expensive. Low sale figures made the 1007 project finally commercially unsuccessful.
The sliding doors are very unusual for a small passenger car like this.

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.
The BX was introduced in October 1982, and was styled by Marcello Gandini for Bertone Studios. The face-lifted MK2 followed in 1986.

A very clean example of the Mk3 Fiesta fitted with mon-standard Ford alloys and lowered suspension. 46,084 miles at last MOT.
A Skoda Forman photographed in Beijing, Beijing municipality, China.
A rare Skoda Forman still alive in China.
I spotted this poorly Forman in a car repair shop in east Beijing.
Hopefully, this car seems to be saved from scrapyard.
In 1970's, 80's and early 90's, China usually imported batch of cars from communist countries : Polski-Fiat from Poland, Lada from Russia, Dacia/Aro from Romania or Skoda from Czechoslovakia.
These cars were reserved for taxis or selected people.
But in 1990's, some of them tried to export their vehicles.
These cars were quite popular until local-produced vehicles developped in the market.
