Another French car from the recent Practical Classics resto show. This is the first-generation Renault Twingo, introduced in 1993 - one of my all-time favourites. Subsequent generations of Twingo didn’t really recapture the flair of this car but now there is a promising new electric Twingo that reverts to the looks of the original.#davidsdailycar #Renault #WeirdCarMastodon

Yesterday, I posted a photo of a car that I described as a Reliant Scimitar SE5. That description was entirely accurate, but for the true car geek, not quite complete. Yesterday’s car was in fact an SE5A, a variant of the SE5 incorporating some mid-life refinements that was introduced in 1972. This car is a ‘pre-A’ SE5, but if I am being honest, externally, I cannot tell them apart. Snapped at the Practical Classics resto show last month.#davidsdailycar #Reliant #WeirdCarMastodon

Yesterday, I mentioned that the British Army was starting to retire its fleet of Land Rovers. This was one of the more exotic applications of the Landy - as a long-range desert patrol vehicle for the elite Special Air Service. This heavily modified Series IIA ‘Pink Panther’ version dates back to the late 1960s. Pink was found to be the best camouflage colour for desert conditions. Pic taken at the British Motor Museum, 2024.#davidsdailycar #LandRover #WeirdCarMastodon
