MITSUOKA model HIMIKO, great big engine bay with a little 2.0 lt engine, crying shame. and costs 3,8 million !!

needs a V6 min, better a V8, V10 or even a V12, make it go as good as it looks, Of course this is just a copy,

The real car has a V8 and called a Morgan Aero

Edit:

Never seen a Morgan Aero here, but see a few MITSUOKA on the roads here... there small car seen far more here the Vewt only has a Nissan 1.3lt in a copy of a Mk2 Jag !!

Spot on. Mazda 3 running gear. They also do a Jaguar saloon "lookalike" which fails miserably.

the new Viewt has the new 1.2 lt 3 cylinder engine !! and cost almost 2 million baht.. very far from the 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 engines of the proper Mk2 Jags...... there is a UK Company still making the Mk2 Jags, the engine now a 4.3 lt, but price is around £350 - 375,000....YES UK £...... so maybe a 3 cylinder 1.2 lt, sort of copy is cheap ??

.Heres the Re Build from the U.K.Its a Web d load i know.

one wonders with the new deals with China we may see the Chinese Land Wind X7 ? at a 1/3 of the price of the genuine Land Rover Evoque, maybe would do rather well here + with Mitz engine and running gear should be OK and looks the part..

Yes, it is a copy; not exactly a copy; made on a Mazda 5 platform

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuoka_Himiko

A subjective opinion ( mine ) I think the Himiko is more beautiful than the Morgan + 8 ;

I was in Chiang_Mai a few days ago and had the chance for shooting a Mitsuoka Himiko which was on the parking lot for luxury cars in front of MAYA Mall

On the plate the last number is 63 ; clermont_Ferrand district where is Michelin firm .

It's a DS Citroen ; a french car .....Cocorico

[ignis]

People have done some wacky things with Citroens... Some maybe remember Top Gear in the UK 'Clarkson' and his double decker CX home..

a few more based on the CX

Of course there were many DS wonders

Great hairdressers car tho. (LOL)

i've heard XR3's called many things over the years . . but that's a new one! (i believe your LOL)

they were the bees knees boy racers back in '82 (if you were 18 and just passed your driving test ) oh . . great days.

You guys were so lucky. The "hot rod" in my day was my Ford Popular 100E 997cc sidevalve. I tried a 0-60mph time trial once but it got dark before I got there LOL

The worst thing about the 100E was that the wipers were vacuum driven. A light throttle setting and you were almost flying. Change down to overtake, throttle to the floor and the wipers stopped. Great thing to happen passing a truck in heavy rain.
