The quiz thread: What Car Is This?

[Kohan]

it is left hand drive, so maybe that can narrow the country of origin down

[Kohan]

is it even a mazda perhaps made outside of japan, but keeping the name? If it is my guess is mazda 1000

[BobbyV]

No, not Japanese, nor Mazda, only based on Mazda Familia platform. It's from the country which used Jap models for almost all of their cars at that time.

I mean, how hard can it be?? :cheeky:

[ScaR]

Kia Brisa (K303)

[BobbyV]

...or Kia Brisa 1100

.... in October 1974, the first Korean passenger car. It would later become also the first Korean vehicle to be exported, when it was sold in the Middle East.

[ScaR]

[Brazzucca]

lol Coupe and Convertible at same time, i want one... Maybe this only 5 is how many rest...

 

@Kurgan clue:

 

In the first look i tought i was the AMC Matador... Looks a Cadillac too, but that mirrors next the hood always makes me think it's a japanese car...

[hpluls]

Holden HJ?

[BobbyV]

Hmm yeah besides Holden Premier HJ, I found another one twin car...South American 1976 Chevrolet Constantia.

All essentially the same cars...

None of these?

[Kohan]

well yes you are both well on your way but not right answers, i will give a clue in a couple of hours.

 

however the constantia while being a similar car, it is not exactly a twin. notice how it is longer, it is also more luxurious. In a similar way that 7 series bmw is different to a 5 series.

 

Also i would like to know off scar, how did you come across the brewster in the first place, anyone old i have talked has never heard of it. And im still intrigued by the car.

Mazda Roadpacer AP

A CKD Holden Premier with a 13B rotary from Mazda

 

Ah well I did a search for something a bit harder to find? lol :p

[Kohan]

i knew an aussie would get this one.

 

For those who dont know. This is originally was a holden premier which was sent to japan for mazda, which put in a 13b rotary and a few of their own things. There were around 800 in existance. But they were particularly expensive and the rotary in a big car caused 27litres per 100kms. which is twice as much a current holden hsv 317kw GTS

[ScaR]

Yeah, and most of them ended up getting crushed :| so they really are a rarity these days. Ok, a new one ;)

 

Another which may not be as you think :p

[Kohan]

1968 ford galaxy 500?
