A car with a motorbike engine - it would take the Dutch to think of this one!

The badge on the bonnet says "6.1hemi" - forget your 26.8 mpg

  • I think Mick is right - here are some more detail from the UK Car checker; 

    Vehicle Identity

    • Registration: GKN632Y
    • Make: Citroen
    • Model: Visa Special
    • Fuel: Petrol
    • Colour: White
    • Year: 1983
    • Registered05 May 1983

    (extra bit of useless information - the Visa started production in 1981, the Axel not until 1985 - hope you are keeping well Mick - you were missed on the TRip )

    • Well done Bren. Cannot remember the last time I saw one of them....

  • I'm thinking it's a Citroen Visa given the black trim around the headlights. Either that or an Axel which looked similar but  a 3 Dr and didn't have that trim afaik. 

  •  Never mind the Challenger; what is that weird Citroen in the background? It looks almost the same as a Yugo
