"What's this car?" Official Thread

[Ferrer]

Thanks Ferrer. I knew it was form IMSA GTO/GTU as I got it from a site of pics from that but unlike most of the other albums, this one was not labeled.

AAC is for American Automobile Club?

Apparently it stands for American Challenge:

The red car is a Toyota Corolla or a Sprinter Trueno, it depends on the country.

What the hell is this? The badge says "CMK Caravan" and the front looks like a Holden.

Personally I'd say it's a MR2.

"Back in 1972, General Motors Korea (GMK) introduced the Vauxhall-based Holden Torana LJ as a Chevrolet 1700. It didn't sell. The gas guzzler couldn't compete with the Hyundai Pony and Kia Brisa (Mazda Famila), So in 1976, GMK facelifted the 1700 and called it Camina. Big change was the 1500cc engine for better economy, but GMK sold just 992 in the first year. Camina remains the biggest disaster in Korean automobile history."

It appears this might be the later facelifted Camina, as Chevrolet 1700 is visually almost identical to Torana LJ (LWB 6 cyl version) although both of the Korean cars were equipped with 4cyl only

That awkward looking CKD-assembled Daewoo wagon bodystyle variant of Torana is unique to Korea, and was not available in Oz Toranas (which btw also offered either 4cyl or 6 cyl models)

LWB 6cyl Holden LJ Torana for comparsion

Type17's link shows a Manta Mirage, a kit car made in the 1970's. Most of them had Chevrolet engines fitted.

David was right... I didn't think it looked like a Renault.

[Kultag]

So whatts dhiss? Looks like a kitcar.

[Ferrer]

It's some kind of Lotus Seven replica.

One of the resident kitcar experts will probably be able to say which one.

Pretty certain it's a Westfiel SEight.
However the mock Merlin-engine exhaust bits on the side make me hope it's not
