I see that and think Hillman Hunter crossed with a volvo.


They were still being made up until a few years ago

You'd be more or less right...

The Paykan was a Rootes Arrow built under license.

Same deal as the indian built morris I guess.

Some would suggest that as it's Italian it can go in either direction at similar speeds...

Though, it, like the VW Combi, was ahead of its time.

Similar deals to the Fiat built as a Lada, the Austin built as a BMW and a Datsun....

Just as well that they stopped making them last year then...and in any case the ozzies have struggled to make a decent looking coon or dunnydoor for quite a while.

That is considerably nicer than that earlier version (AU?).
Holden apparently heard that fraud were releasing a "new" falcoon and immediately starting a facelift version of their current model. Upon seeing what the new P.o.S ford looked like, they laughed and put away the facelift model as "unnecessary!".

I think what he was meaning was after production had finished in England, the tooling for thr Morris Oxford and all the rest were moved tio India and the same happened in iran for the Hunter and production carried on.
The lada might have looked like a Fiat 125 but the running gear was not in the same league.
The Fiat 125 had an all alloy DOHC with a ZF 5 speed and 4 wheel discs.

I thought the Lada was based on the FIAT 124.

Quote from Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_124]:
In 1966, Fiat entered into a collaborative agreement with the Soviet government to establish car manufacture in the Samara region of Russia. Fiat was contracted to take part in the creation of the massive VAZ plant in the newly created town of Togliatti, named after the Italian communist leader of the same name.[21] The factory produced an adapted version 124R of the 124, known as the VAZ-2101 "Zhiguli" (sold as the Lada 1200/1300 in export markets), until 1982, and 1200s until 1987. Based on the 124, they were modified at more than 800 points, the major modifications having an entirely different Fiat OHC engine, hydraulic clutch, drum brakes at the rear, modified suspensions, etc. Early modifications include the VAZ-2102 (station wagon), 2103 (Lada 1500), 2106 (Lada 1600) and 21011 (Lada 1300). The updated and restyled versions of the 124-based design were produced until September 2012, as the VAZ-2104, 2105 and 2107 – marketed as the Lada Riva (or Lada Classic) in most Western European markets.[citation needed] Production of this line reached 17,332,954 cars, this being the second largest production volume for a car in automotive history

None of the Fiat 124's i have ever seen look like ladas.

But then again i had never seen a 124 sedan until i googled it now

Either way the 125 is a far better vehicle
