I wish! Sold within a month of having it. It nearly caught fire but great fun went like s**t off a shovel. There have been some mad mods made to these cars and now appreciating rapidly

First car I bought for my wife. Has hammock seats!
So basic she called it Watson
Easily identifiable but still very ‘quirky’ hugely versatile with removable seats (remind you of anything we know), she loved it so much her next car was a higher spec version of the same car i.e. it had upholstered seats!

This thread is addictive!
Perhaps not that quirky but as a company car it was outside the run of the mill back in the early 80’s. Drove it through Paris with my wife following in another company car. Panicking as we drove around the Etoile that we must not crash into each other.

Definately a car I wish I had owned trouble is like most lancia's of the time they went rusty rather rapidly

This is my quirkiest. Passive rear wheel steering, electric mirror for passenger's side only (manual on driver's side), keycode immobiliser. Engine canted backwards about 45°. Loved it to bits and drove it nearly 100k in 6 years starting from just under 70k. It's coming up for 150k in this photo.

I had a 2lt Lancia beta coupe very quick in its day but when you arrived where you where going you always walked around the car to make sure it had all arrived with you
Then like a silly begged I bought a lancia montecarlo now that was nice
Just not great in the British climate when lancia made them from recycled washing machines

Beats mine! As in, "I'll see your rear torsion beam suspension and raise you (literally!) hydraulic all round ..."
Citroens of that day and age always did look good in my eyes.

Predecessor to the Xantia. Bonus points for identification of the vehicle hiding in the background.

Correct. Another car that didn't rust

And the Dafjes were able to win any reverse racing as the variomatic worked with same ratios in reverse.
