Renault Fuego?

I know exactly the detail you’re thinking of, and I had the same thought at first as well. Only thing is, I’m not sure that it was ever offered in any colour other than black. Could be wrong, though.

Even if made that colour, it would be the wrong profile.

My guess is the 1947 Altamobil KV7, with the 499cc glowplug two-stroke.-
1987 Toyota Truxarossa, with the optional 331 Cadillac V8.

Interesting – in some ways, it’s similar to the BX vans we had in Ireland.
The one shown below is on Isle of Man plates, which is interesting – as far as I was aware, the BX was never available as a van in any part of the UK.-

The lower body cladding on a Fiat Panda?

Speaking as someone who owned a Panda of that era, I have to say no – the scallops seen in the original photo weren’t on any Panda of the time that I’m aware of.
That said, it’s always good to see another one of these. Absolutely brilliant little cars.-
