Today, a third - and possibly the best known - of Nissan’s late eighties/early nineties quirky small ‘Pike’ cars, the Figaro. Like yesterday’s Pao, it draws on a variety of retro influences rather than being a reinterpretation of a single specific earlier model. The Pike cars weren’t officially sold in the UK but a lot of them, especially the Figaro, made it here anyway. Model Figaro snapped at Nissan’s Tokyo HQ by my brother earlier this year (1/2)

🚗❓Any car enthusiasts out there? I photographed this old truck, with a tree growing out of it. Some kind of Ford, is my best guess. Somewhere in Belgium, a few years ago.

One last Midas from the recent NEC Classic Motor Show - the Midas Gold convertible. I’ve posted a similar car before - see below - but I think this lighter colour shows off its contours better. (1/2)

Yesterday, we viewed the Austin Montego from the front. Today we are looking at it from the back. First, the saloon with its slightly awkward wraparound rear window, seen at the Allegro 40th anniversary celebration at Gaydon in 2013. The second car is the more handsome estate model, seen at the 2024 NEC Classic Motor Show. (1/2)

#RadRide at auction today! There are a ton of very weird vehicles that come out of Japan, but few are as strangely proportioned as the 92 Daihatsu Mira Walkthrough Van! There's plenty of room for anything inside this part kei car, part delivery van! Up to you just what that is! DM for interest or to bid! #JDM #weirdcarmastodon

Today, we’re lingering on the subject of the Morris Marina door handles with this example of the Reliant Scimitar, which I saw at last weekend’s NEC Classic Motor Show. When the revamped SE6 version of the Scimitar was introduced in 1975, it received important upgrades such as a lengthened wheelbase for more interior space and also, like yesterday’s Lotus Eclat, Marina door handles.

Smyk Prototype, 1957. A Polish microcar prototype developed at the Automotive Industry Design Office in Warsaw, notable for its front-opening “door”. It lost out in a government competition to become Poland's official affordable mass-produced car. Just 17 units were made. The name "Smyk" is a Polish term for a "little kid".
