Lancia Sibilo, concept del 1978, progettata da Marcello Gandini per Bertone. Prototipo dalle linee estreme a forma di cuneo, costruito sulla piattaforma della Lancia Stratos HF e alimentato dallo stesso motore V6 di derivazione Ferrari.

An excellent thread from one of the great philosophers of our age

RIP to the Honda/Sony Afeela, possibly the most underwhelming looking electric car concept of the past 10 years. www.ft.com/content/b858...

Counterpoint.

Just watched the Weiner-mobile pick up someone from the airport

Great to see a Mk2 Transit still out and about being useful. The backbone of Britain and all that...

There's no such thing as a "4-door pickup" in my eyes. Those are just Sports Utility Mullets.

You may remember the 5 door lift back Mazda Lantis / 323F, but who recalls the even rarer 4 door saloon? I borrowed one to drive my friend to Auckland Airport in about 2017 after my Alfa Romeo 156 V6 cracked its coolant reservoir and tried to overheat driving over the Kaimai ranges.

It's always a good day for a Mazda 323F / Lantis

If, like me, anybody has been wondering whether you can wear a Fiat Cinquecento as a coat, this lady confirms you can.

I spotted one of the rarest cars that I'd be amazed if anyone cared about. A Mk2 Ford Maverick V6. A thinly disguised Mazda Tribute which is also vanishingly rare here.

for anyone seeking just a spark of joy today anywhere on planet earth, Rocket Bunny just debuted an Choro-Q R32 kit for a Suzuki Twin for TAS 2026 and, well, it’s sort of incredible and literally perfect www.instagram.com/p/DTO1z7rgXS...

One of those cars that I would really love to own but have no idea why.

‘What’s the last car you stopped to take a picture of?’

Today has been taken up with this Mini that won't illuminate the speedo or indicator/headlamp tell tales. Endless tracing wiring has found no faults other than a blown bulb in the cigarette lighter illumination so far. All connectors with no corrosion, bcm and fusebox look perfect. A real puzzle.

This is like seeing a beautiful, listed but ultimately useless building falling into disrepair. Extremely sad but you wouldn't want to be the one to take it on. And that's coming from someone who's owned one of these amazing, hopeless lumps.

Spotted in Aotearoa New Zealand....🇳🇿 Mazda.

Riding as a passenger in the Renault Espace F1 is like going through an MRI with your jewellery still on. #weirdcarbs

now, even my non-homologation dork amigos might remember the DoA 926R De Tomaso concept - along with the FIA registration here, this is a heck of a What Could Have Been situation historicdb.fia.com/model/charad...

Make sure you always protect those that are most precious to you. Even if those things are an incredibly battered Xsara Picasso.

😭 "Her name is cringe wagon and she was the best car to ever do it...I had the best two summers of my life in her, and the worst fall and winter, too. PC: tinyurl.com/n5d2ydz8

More Autocar archive. Always liked this 2001 test of all the stuff you could get under £10k. Fairly diverse - city cars, superminis, MPVs, baby hot hatches, quite a spread of manufacturers. Just went through price lists and lemme tell you, it's difficult to assemble that many cars today...

RIP to Martin Parr, who photographed this classic

I'm definitely not cool enough for Harajuku.

Pajero Junior alert!

Anyone else remember when every scrap yard had one of these in this colour sat in it, only a few years after they were brand new? A rare survivor of a car you could drive out of the showroom for £1.

For sale in Auckland

Obscure group B car alert

This is very important knowledge. It should be in the driving test.

This little Fiesta, owned since I was 17 and only sold it in 2023 when money got very tight for a short while. It still exists but is now sat in a shed with a blown engine and the interior all dog chewed since it left my hands.

QOTD: What car have you owned the longest? I had the TSX wagon for seven years.

Either this Toyota Corona or Toyota Starlet Carat, both of which I had for mere hours before shifting them on for a profit simply because their air con worked and i bought them both on very hot days.

Today, I learned that Chrysler sold a van version of the PT Cruiser in The Netherlands. It was a classic case of exploiting tax loopholes. The rear hatch was redesigned to increase the interior volume to meet the van regulations. #ItsVanTime www.flickr.com/photos/81821...

Arguably the oddest-looking Suzuki of its era was the short-lived, Japan-only 3rd-generation Cervo kei car. The 1988 brochure featured sections of rather bizarre English text: 'Wow, look at this rear styling! Don't you just want to hug it... Suzuki sure knows what every girl wants'. #weirdcarbs

Autumn chores and autumn fun

Start your Sunday off with some top tier factory shots. Look at all those V12s! #weirdcarbs

The 1966 FNM Onça coupe was a variant of the FNM 2000 sedan - an Alfa Romeo 2000 built under licence in Brazil - built for several years until Alfa bought FNM in 1968. The coupe was FNM’s own work, however, albeit heavily influenced by the Ford Mustang.
