Disgustingly, that has a single wiper. So, it's either a Fiat Uno.....or.....a highly mullered BX! Surely not? Ariel looks BX too!

Were it not for the silly bonnet scoops, that could almost look not bad.

... except it doesn't. It looks stupid, and is a barried heap.

i'm getting Austin Maestro off the front.

i remember when i was a kid some boasting of a talking computer on a regular common garden family car - 1st of its kind, and i think it was in the Maestro?

Any Maestro nerds out there?

Definitely a BX, look at the windscreen, and roof line. The bumper is a give-away too, that was once a happy BX driving across a sunflower field, bathed in glorious summer sunshine.

Bumper is not from a BX, fogs are too outward.

Not just any BX bumper... A BX sport bumper. What a waste...

Maestro is in there - headlamps yes but the indicators intrigue me. It's shocking though, just shocking.

I'd say an old Mitsubishi Lancer or Nissan Laurel donated some lighting to that fairly horrific front end!

That looks like one of those sort of Iranian - made 'under licence' Citroen/Kia/ Daewoo things..

Frugg asked

Toddao - where did you find that picture???

It came up on Google images when I put in Citroen BX. Its title is 'Citroen BX 16' - some bloke in Asia ( Malaysia?) is responsible!

- I just looked again, the website's based in Jakarta Indonesia

The copy with the photo reads :

KITT killer.Even KITT himself would say, “I wish I have a piece of two of those…”

Maybe referring to the Knight Rider vehicle? We know what KITT would really say : BXquishite!

Here's the link for 'AMHP' ( Add More Horsepower!) if anyone's interested : http://addmorehp.com/2008/02/
