1939 Vauxhall Roadster. Genuine Thai-registered body on top of a Toyota Lexus chassis. On the face of it, very neat.

 

 

 

Great looking car but it's not a roadster as a roadster is a convertible at least where I come from. On the other hand I don't remember a 2 door hardtop.

Maserati Ghibli GT

Maybe the body was shortened - hence 2 dr instead of 4dr - to fit on the Lexus chassis? Who knows, I certainly don't know what some body builder has done to the original bodywork? ????

The first pic reminds me of a Nash Rambler (from when I don't know)?

The last pic, a REAL De Lorean?

Yep, really real.  This is the guy who owns the museum, Jesada Dejsakulrit.

Thanks. Metropolitan was the name I was looking for. ????

[Rdrokit]

Old Ferrari Testarossa. I can't tell the year but they were made from 1984 to 1996.

...and I wonder what "Lexus" chassis was used as Lexus cars are all monocoques and none have 4 stud wheels.

Recently seen one 850Ci with 850 plate, not the rarest car but surely looks pristine!

 

 

 

2017 seen this one on road to pattaya, dunno what car it is, but any driver drives a fullsize convertible under blazing sun has to be respected! 

 

 

 

[Rdrokit]

Well that is one rare 850 as it is an Aplina 850Csi with  a 350hp 5 liter 12 cylinders with 350hp pretty good in 1994. The other car is a 1962 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. Rare in America and probably the only one in Thailand. Great shots. Thanks Coremouse.

At first glance and without my glasses I thought it was a slightly stretched Morris Minor

A 1954-57? Peugeot 203 registered in Tunisia.

I am amazed at how well restored some of these cars are. 1957 Ford Thunderbird.

Great thing about this car (and other Mitsuokas really) is that it's based on the NC MX-5. So the Mitsuoka brand may be gone in Thailand but it's still easy and cheap to maintain.

I saw it too.
