  1. Locally made Australian versions, in CKD form, also used the quad round headlights and tombstone seats.

  2. An Australian designed the original Focus. The Opel range extender was a German design and project, not American - later was sold in the US as Chevy Volt and Holden version. NSU were sort of the precursor to Audi or bought by them - with a mass produced Wankel / rotary engine. Predecessor to the Audi 100 CD. Had many problems with the engine. The original 1964 Rover was an exceptional car - very robust - had the optional 3.5 litre Rover V8 - originally discarded by a GM division? and discovered by a visiting team, and they asked if they could have it. Went onto power original range Rover, stag etc. Renault 16 - first official? hatchback and with seats that become hammocks - famous for the French roll - Wheels Car Magazine also made it Car of the Year. CX Citroen is the replacement for the DS. XM the replacement for the CX. GS is CX's little brother with same hydro suspension and flat four or rotary engines. Probably the most advanced small car of all time. Peugeot 504 was popular in Australia with farmers because it offered very first diesel cars in volume with suspension and range for Australian conditions. Used to win 1,2 and 3rd place in the Redex Reliability Trials around the entire content of Australia back in the 1950's with no sealed roads. Made their own shock absorbers and foam seats tuned to the suspension. Still see them running all around Africa and the middle east. Had to compete / rival with the Citroen DS and CX and Renault 16, so they had to be good and competition fierce. Resulted in the French making extremely advanced, efficient durable cars that rode really well but still simple. The 505 was the last TRUE Peugeot.

  5. Yeah, as a kid in Australia - I always wanted to know what the big ball was sticking out of the top of the dashboard was ? - then a long time later, I found out it was just an ashtray. Although I hate smokers, it does look cool but thought it would be something more important. 😅
