Looks like a Holden?

 

[t-tony]

As in the batsman's Willey?

It's a Japanese Classic it looks fairly ordinary from the front and sides it's only the exhausts that sort of give it away until he gets the two turbos wound up, it screams

 

[t-tony]

Does that say EUNOS on the back Hugh? It sure doesn't look much like the little Eunos I had!

 

[miller1098]

Yes your right it's a Eunos Cosmo.

 

[t-tony]

[miller1098]

I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one who didn't know what this is

That is one seriously impressive looking/sounding whatever one of those is!

 

[hard top]

Sorry, it looks bloody horrible but its got a nice lump in it but you have to look after those things.

The styling looks very eighties Italian, not saying that's a good or a bad thing it just looks like the era it's from. First look at the front end and grille I thought Lancia. Could even be styled by Pininfarina next to that horrible thing I saw at Walmart.

Tony.

the three rotor engine is original ,the engine was only in production for 5 years about 4000 units in the early 90s and recently many of the cars were cannibalised just for the engine.it was like Mazdas answer to Lexus very luxurious and advanced for its time ,touch screen sat nav TV etc

 

[miller1098]

No it doesn't!

as with the interior of your car "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"lol
