Yes, and the problem with that is...............:laugh:^_^
It'd be even more fun, if it looked fairly standard^_^
As the old Lada was that used to turn up at the car meet on the car park at Wellington Street, Leeds, iirc it was matt battleship grey, and had a Fiat 132 2.0 litre engine, it upset the owners of many a fast Ford or Vauxhall off the lights.

It must be the time of the year?

I've just taken daughter to work, in Wakefield
Heading back home along Doncaster Road/A638, on the stretch between Wakefield Bridge ('Chantry' bridge) & the rugbyist grounds, a Daihatsu F20 came the other way
It was a very faded red (or maybe in red primer?), and on a 'T' registration (78 - 79)

I can remember them arriving in this country, & had a ride in a demonstrator, at a country fair (at Nostell Priory)
Crikey, they were a solid ride, the Land Rovers of the time, on their leaf-springs, seemed like air-suspension in comparison

More to the point, I'm surprised any have survived:wacko:

I remember them. A neighbour had one, mostly constructed from Isopon and newspaper as I recall but very capable off road. Not that capable on it (unless you're comparing it to a Fordson tractor!).

So many people say Japanese cars are boring but they did build some interesting things at times, like this, Suzuki Whizzkids or the original Toyota Lite Ace with the column gear change which was a very practical and well designed little van. I would love a Lite Ace (just don't crash it).
 
@tyred

I had a Bedford Rascal (Suzuki Supercarry) for a couple of years, in the early - mid 90s
Scary as hell on a motorway, & even worse on a wet roundabout......... and on spilt diesel :headshake::headshake:

It did make a reasonable bike-carrier, & changing room though, as I had it when I was doing a lot of MTB racing & CX)

The dents on the front, are from trying to push me out, when it got stuck (which was very easy to do!)
