Funky! I wonder if there are any in the states?



I'm thinking there was an article about them long ago in some truck magazine

Actualy from what I can find.... there are actualy more than 40 of them still in Saudi and more than 10 in the uk but none in north america. I saw one in hemmings a few years back in Japan the guy only wanted $15,000.00 but I didn't have the cash then.
The thing was also marketed as a Profile came as a soft top targa. My thoughts are strange enough to be cool weird enough to not cost to much! There where only eight as of 1983 but production carried on thru 1985...total number produced seems unknown. Also thanks for calling my thread worthless!!!!! Ha! Ha!

Do you really want one or are you just starved for attention?

Or is it both?

Seriously... what does it do that other vehicles in its class can't do just as well or better? That long nose is going to be very unwieldy in many offroad situations.

Hee! Hee! A little of both I guess. I know its a stange looking thing but that ugly duckling has been stuck in my head since I first read about back in 1984. I mean what can it really be worth anyway? There can't be to many guys with this much poor taste in the world, can there? And the running gear is all range rover.... oh crap if its got Lucas wiring maybe I should reconsider!!!!!!

OUCH!!! That really brought things back into focus!!!! Is it really as bad as an Aztec? Maybe I should just start drinking more and keep to driving the Audi TT and the 911!!! Spend my money on an old 1970 ford bronco and go mudding!!!!

I think you should get either a Parrot or a Boa to carry around, you would get the same kind of attention and they are cheaper. If that fails get a 944.

If there was one around me for sale I would probably want it and drive it. But I don't have a parrot or boa.
