Looks like a Fiat?

[dtaai-maai]

It looks like a cross between a Fiat and a 2CV

I was thinking the same thing. It's ugly enough to have been produced by either manufacturer.

[Nereus]

Is it a Subaru ?

Erm: have you been in Bangkok this week? Yes, Subaru, but what model?

Subaru 360 Over Top?

[Bristolian]

Ugly little “Ladybug” but with character like the 2CV or Beetle…Never seen one before! Had to Google it

No I haven't been in Bangkok, what have I missed?

Subaru was a guess, I thought it was probably a Japanese Kei car as it looked like a small Fiat, and you wouldn't be so straightforward to post a Fiat 500 unless there was something more obscure that was very similar.

I could equally have guessed, Suzuki, Honda, Daihatsu. etc, I was fishing for 'Yes, it's Japanese'.

It was on display at a Classic Car Show in Bangkok this past week.

Is it turbo-charged?

[Ginjaninja]

Nice and easy one......

[Frank Hovis]

Ford Escort RS Turbo - probably with a broken fan

[Ginjaninja]

That's my baby sock muppet. You want a list of what else is broken?
Full engine re-build several years back (~£3K) and has been locked up in my garage since.... not even turned over.
No use here mind you, couldn't hack the temperature.

GN.

[Frank Hovis]

Looks good for an old motor.
Keep it another 10 years and it'll be worth something, maybe even getting back it's original price.

http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/fo ... t_rs_turbo says there's less than 800 of them on the road, and if I remember right it was easy to take them off the road, usually into a tree.

[Ginjaninja]

Also worth more in a 1000 pieces....
I put an old escort in a tree one night... fortunately not an RS. A night I'd prefer to forget as the tree came off better.
