Loos like a middle van is being birthed through the front end. Sure makes an impression though.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Inspired by a classic!



Ooh I'd love one of those as a mini coffee-mobile!

What would be a good American equivalent, say from the 50's?

Because parts for the Citroen would be a nightmare.

Without the roll over bar the Fiero convertible looks quite good. $6,900 seems a lot for the gold one - four cylinder/auto too.

This is awesome.

DAMD is the company that does these conversions...

Their Suzuki Lapin-based Renault 4 lookalike is quite well done.

I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

I like Fieros, and for some odd reason, I really like the early 4cyl models. This one would be mine if I had 10K sitting around. 84 with 7700km.

I liked the later "Formula" versions...

I am odd - I like the earlier non-fast back Fiero better. That low kms on is amazing.

If it was a Niva that would be really interesting, otherwise any Hyundai compact car can give you the eastern block experience and heated seats.
