Not forgetting the Toyota Cressida with its plush body hugging velvet seats.

 

Amongst owners of the Toyota Cressida is one man we know very very well, and miss just as much...

 

And yes, the plush body hugging velvet seats can be seen here.

I remember my mom had the early 80s Subaru 600 followed by a 700. Both the 2-cylinder models before the boxy Viki was launched. At the same time dad had the Subaru 1600 GLS followed by the 1800 GLS.

 

My first car was a Subaru 700.  I bought it in 1991 for all of $10,500.  Scarp value I think was $9,200 or something?  I got it when it was 9 years old so it cost me $1300 to use it for a year, scrapped it, and bought another 9 year old one for another year.

Only in Singapore can a particular generation of Toyota Corolla end up in an "unusual or rare car" thread!

I agree... I am very particular that the rims of the car should match its era.

As rare as it gets - Rover 416.

 

Absolute waste to see this Gem headed for the gallows in 2021. owner renewed COE 5 years

The Rover 75 is like a mini Jaguar.

This 9th generation, last of the Japan made Corolla is the most economical.

 

1.5l, and weighing just under 1100kg. Superb power to weight ratio.

 

Thai made Vios shares the same 1NZ-FE engine, but somehow, firewall insulation seems not as good, resulting in a noisier interior

This vintage Volvo 240 runs on 185/65R15 tyres.

 

Hmmm... why do we need such broad tyres with local road speed limit.
