Production: 1993-1999.
Voted European Car of the Year 1995.
The MK1 Punto went on sale in 1993 but didn't arrive in the UK until 1994, hence why the Punto wasn't eligible for the 1994 Car of the Year award. Personally even as a former Punto MK2 owner, I think the MK1 has aged better than the Mk2.
This example is probably wearing its original suppling dealer number plates.
This thing is unbelievable. Not only is it pristine, its also barely ever been driven, it was only four years old when it came off the road, and became a musuem piece. As far as Im aware, it only gets moved around the premises, probably to keep everything mechanical in check. I have to say, the seats looked incredibly uncomfortable, and like they were covered in cheap blankets. Regardless, a superb piece and it originally started off in the Luton area.
Toyota was a bit later than most to the FWD party. They had actually issues a bet each way, maintaining old-school RWD on most platforms, but also trying out a couple of longitudinal FWD models 'just to see'.
Key segment to deploy FWD was compact cars, and the first FWD Corolla, the E80 debuted in 1983 (in most markets). It too, had a bet each way, where the Levin, Sprinter and Trueno coupes maintained a longitudinal RWD driveline layout, while the sedans, hatch and liftbacks debuted a FWD driveline set.
Hot engines were not exclusive to the RWD Coupes either. The legendary 4A-GE being made available in versions of the FWD range, such as the Australian-market SX Twin-Cam hatchback, shown here. This transverse installation would actually be translated to the rear of the car to make the first generation MR2.
The car shown here, with its big 3-spoke wheels, was my brother's first car - nice wheels at 18 - before he unfortunately welded it to a light pole in the middle of the night.
The 4A-GE produced 88 kW or so, depending on the market, which might not sound like a whole lot these days, but in the mid-1980s, in a car that weighed comfortably under a ton, this made for a pretty quick rig.
As for most of the models built his November, the Corolla Twin-Cam is a major redesign of a previously created model. In LUGNuts there was a build challenge named 'Redo or Redemption' just for this type of build.

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class (W177) is the fourth and current generation of the A-Class range of subcompact executive hatchbacks and sedans. It was launched in 2018 as the successor to the W176 A-Class, with sales commencing in March 2018. The available body styles include:
5-door hatchback (W177 model code)
4-door sedan (V177 model code)
4-door long wheelbase sedan (Z177, only sold in China)
The W177 A-Class hatchback officially debuted at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. It is based on the front-wheel drive MFA2 (Modular Front Architecture) platform and features front MacPherson struts, and rear torsion beam suspension on lower end models or a multi-link rear suspension on A250 models.
All models feature the new Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system with a redesigned touch interface and voice-controlled smart assistant that is activated by saying "Hey Mercedes". MBUX also contains what3words functionality as standard. It is also able to offer quick shortcuts to menus based on the past habits of the user. The system is also optionally available with an augmented reality navigation system that records and displays directional arrows on the road in the navigation system.

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.
Last year of the AE92 corolla in EU. Someone was really curious in the background window and kept staring at me.
It's finally here, my dream hatchback. And the engine is just where I like it, in the middle! I wanted to build this car for a long time but I didn't really like the idea of a 4-wide with this car. So now here it is on 6-wide, and I love the result! The hatch was by far the hardest thing to get accurate and all connected to the car. This car does fit a mining without his legs.
