David Wilkins<p>In the recent long Triumph-Mayflower-to-MG6 sequence, I explained how the 2000-2005 MG Rover management tried to replace the 25 and 45 with the RDX60 project, which never saw production. They did, however, succeed in finding a Metro/Rover 100 replacement of sorts with the Rover CityRover, a tweaked and rebadged Tata Indicar from India, seen here being worked on at the recent Practical Classics Resto show.

Rick Calkins<p>Monteverdi Safari 3-Türen, 1976, by Fissore. A luxury SUV based on the International Harvester Scout rebodied by the Italian coachbuilder and powered by a Chrysler V8 engine. Though a 5 door version was prototyped the Safari was only ever sold as a 3-door. Production ended in 1982 after International Harvester ceased production of the Scout. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weirdcarmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>weirdcarmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/internationalharvester" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>internationalharvester</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/truck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>truck</span></a></p>

Nathan Avots-Smith<p>Day 19: I got the wagon up in the air for the first time! And discovered the difference between a lifetime California car (the 530i) and one that's spent good chunks of its life in places like Massachusetts and Seattle (the wagon).</p><p>Was planning to remove the exhaust, but couldn't even get started; the four nuts that attach the exhaust to the manifold studs are super rusty. One broke off, which is fine, but the others wouldn't budge. <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WrenchEveryDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WrenchEveryDay</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/BMW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BMW</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/EngineSwap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EngineSwap</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/E39" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>E39</span></a></p>

David Wilkins<p>Today, the 36th and final post in the current marathon sequence tracing the cars in the direct line of descent from the 1949 Triumph Mayflower. This one’s a sort of footnote. I saw this obscure car - I’d forgotten it existed - at the Practical Classics Restoration show on Sunday. Meet the Rover 25 GTI, briefly sold as the fastest version of the R3 between the Rover 200 BRM bowing out and the arrival of the MG ZR in 2001. The last ever ‘sporty’ Rover.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/davidsdailycar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>davidsdailycar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Rover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rover</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a></p>
Frank<p>Got all the import paperwork for Roger the Rabbit pickup today. So turns out he was approved for export from the USA in late 1996. WTF. Had a frenzy of repairs done in 2017, but never got registered on the road here. No wonder he's low mileage, he's done virtually no kms in Australia in the past thirty years.</p><p><a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a></p>
