Kickstart Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 5 hours ago, Dunsignalling said: If you imagine two pairs of vertical slots in the panel, the outer ones (dip) larger than the inner (main beam) . They are set inboard from the corners of the car (where I'm presuming the indicators are located). The slots are wider at the top / narrower at the bottom rather than truly rectangular, and glazed over, that was about it. Struggling to work out what you mean, but the closest I can think of is a Lexus Soarer All the best Katy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeysarefun Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Ya drawing reminds me of some kind of Honda Integra or whatever it was called , but the badge doesnt fit your description. Very overpriced here, bits were expensive and the engine needed 4 more cylinders so no stars from me.

John Or, possibly, a model from a familiar Japanese maker (it was RHD), but one that wasn't officially imported to the UK. There were a few of those around here a while back, suggesting somebody fairly local bringing in such things. I particularly remember an example from one of the biggies (a Nissan or Toyota) with a roof made completely of glass. I think it was mechanically similar to something they did import but the body didn't pass EU tests.... John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that looks like what was sold over here as the Prelude, model years 1996-98 or thereabouts, but the headlights and bumpers are different. A pal of mine had one, 2.2 litre VTi, officially about 200 bhp but probably got at on top of that if I know him! It went quite a lot faster than it looked, which is always fun....

monkeysarefun Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 We got the Prelude as well as the Integra on and off, not sure what the difference between them was, both were two door coupe styles, I think the Prelude got 4 wheel steering for a while, that sure caught on.

45568 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The 'fun' car that my wife and I enjoy in the Spring/Summer/Autumn here in Western Australia. It is the Melbourne Motor Show 2004 Special edition Opel Astra convertible, badged here in Oz as a Holden. German Mechanics and Italian (Bertone) styling, best of both worlds. Originally purchased in 2009 to celebrate my divorce settlement from my first wife, it has still yet to complete 100,000 kilometers. Cheers from Oz, Peter C. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
