It appears to be an Opel of some sort. That "Ferrarina" is awesome.
 
Anyone have any good info sites/images of vintage race transporters? They seem to each have their own history. Some are pretty neat:

Keen users of eyes will notice that I found that in an RAC banner ad.

Technically it does exist, just in sort of... 2 separate entities.


First person to work out the two generic euroboxes that were shamelessly Photoshopped together get a cookie.

Go!
 
Astra front, and something an American wouldn't know on the rear.
 
Actually the rear is Astra too. As are those rather lovely wheels - straight off the 'Design' trim, as I recall.

Just the middle bit now. C'mon kids, look at that trademark rear window!
 
Err, is it an EG Civic?
 
Easy. Astra and Peugeot 206.

I claim my cookie.

got any links pertaining to it?
 
Ok for that RAC thing, Holden Crosa back(or Opel)and Renault Clio front?
 
Edit: yeah changed my mind, I'd go with Astra front and back, with 206 in the middle, so i've been beaten to it too!

I can't tell whether I hate it or like it.
 
The back reminds me of Megatron and I don't know why.

I love it. It's a Delta Integrale with a coupe body.

Are those the 2005 Accord(American) tail lights? :lol:
 
Lancia Hyena? Named for the cackles of laughter when people saw it?

Actually, that's harsh. I quite like it. The world needs more compact coupes. I suppose Hyena was to Delta Integrale as Prodrive P1 was to Impreza STI.

Based on the Lada 2108 model, VFTS built a Group B special. This was a rear wheel drive sports car with the engine of 300 hp. Several prototypes had been built and funds were allocated for constructing the 200 homologation copies, but the project never happened because of the cessation of Group B at the end of 1986.
