I think I've seen RHD models in England, but they could be grey market. It's about 50/50 with Japanese cars.

Since 2009?

Are we sure this is still going?

Does this really count as a concept? It looks like a body kit on a stock Mercedes.

I've had this issue before when adding diecasts. Basically, certain forms of punctuation cause an issue with the website's database. Add the info with no punctuation and you should be golden!
Less basically, for those who care, some punctuation marks are used in programming and if someone writes a short script, they can mine a database for info through that code. The error is a security measure to prevent this. While makes and models are not valuable data, these scripts can be injected into databases with personal data in them. An alternative security measure may be to limit characters but in the model field, this would be a struggle due to some cars excessive names.

Not 100% sure but I think this was made in the Nissan plant at Sunderland.

There are so many grey market import MPVs in my area that I assumed that this was one of them!

It actually just popped up on Twitter this morning!

I learned today that this was the last car built with a cassette player as standard!

Shame. It's a great looking car!
I'm guessing it'll be exclusive to Playstation games in the near future though!

Are Sony entering the car market or is this just a one-off thing?

First one I clicked on in the new year!

Happy 2020 Y'all!

The second Blue/Ivory is a different casting.

Although sold in the UK, I don't think the CNG engine was.

The Pearl White 53 1:76 diecast is NOT a licensed Herbie model.

Why not?

My favourite aircraft ever built. I was a tad excited reading about this today!

There's a bunch of these in my area, so there's either a grey market importer or this was sold in the UK.

I thought it looked quite similar to the Crossland/Mokka. I've looked again and it is a subtly different design but you can't deny the similarities.

I thought Buick was done rebadging Vauxhall/Opel cars?

Like a lot of classic British stuff, these will probably pop up anywhere that used to be part of the empire/commonwealth.

I am yet to see an angle of this car that isn't truly vile. Even the interior looks cheap, with an oversized iPad rammed into it with no thought of aesthetics.

I can assure you that I have never seen one.

The story behind this car is mad! It was the first post-WW2 Rolls-Royce not designed in-house, first Rolls-Royce designed to metric measurements and the first car to ever have split-level climate control. At-launch was the most expensive car in the world (albeit briefly). It was launched in the USA a year after it's launch in Europe.
On a side-note, I'm not sure that the production location is correct but I can not offer an alternative at present.

If it was never showed, how do we have pictures of it? Surely this (wherever it is) should count as first shown on a technicality.

What the hell is the deal with that name?

Pretty sure this was sold as a Hyundai in the UK.

Seems closer to something along the lines of the Optare Alero minibus. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optare_Alero)

From what I can tell, only 120 were ever made, not 200. I'm having some difficulty working out countries too. Definitely the Middle East (Taraf is Arabic for ultimate luxury), but I'm not sure they even sold it in the UK!
