Exactly, there was a car show on TV over here. who filled the engine up with cooking oil and added 5 litres of whiskey to the petrol tank. Not an issue!

 

Recently they changed the age limit form a car to be classed as a classic, i terms of insurance and tax. I reckon the 240 had something to do with it.

Depending on the quality of the whiskey, did that make economic sense?

Bricklins were a pile of crap mechanically, but looked pretty cool in 1975.  Also, the competition of "Canadian cars" would basically be...umm...Honda Civics and CR-V's made in Alliston I guess? :)

 

 

 

 

Or there was the Pontiac Acadian, a Chevy Nova clone just for Canucks.

I had one for a few years when I was a student, it was that sort of powder blue colour. Much as I am embarrassed to admit it, it was abused horribly. I think I changed the oil twice and then it was as cheap oil as I could find. I did no routine servicing on it all, it didn't seem to need it. It regularly took five of us and all our kit to the lakes, snowdonia and Scotland and never missed a beat. Later on it went to the same places and acted as a camper van with me and my mate Andy sleeping head to toe in the back. Sadly it ended up sat on our drive when we moved here and I needed a more economic car. A couple of years later it was scrapped as they weren't worth anything. I would love another.

Apparently they are good camper vans! I can see why.

With the back seats down there is about 6'2" I think, we used to blow up a double air bag and shove that in then put all the kit on top. At night you just chuck your kit in the front seat. As long as you don't kip in the nude its fine!

This is simple,

 

Pug 104 or Renault Twingo - French Mini tributes

Golf or Polo - German Mini tributes

Fiat 127 or Panda - Italian Mini tributes (should really be Innocenti de Tomaso, but it is mostly Mini anyway)

Nissan Micra - Jap Mini lookalike.

 

Spain, Venzuela, Australia, Chili, Portugal, Yugoslavia, Spain, Belgium, South Africa, New Zealand - you guessed it!
