I saw 2 marmite cars on the way to work this morning, these aren't my images, but they are the same as what I spotted earlier on.
Firstly a Bond Bug with original Juggernaut trailer:

and a white R5 Gordini!! (not a fake Dimma version)

Did you see a gordini? Or a turbo 2? My friend has a turbo 2 stashed away, rare as rocking horse jobby.

I thought it was called Gordini, but it was the same as that pic with the weird front wings and those huge vents.. maybe it was Turbo2, I'm not actually sure now...

As far as i know, gordini/alpine was the 1st gen 5's range of engines including 1.4 turbo,, and the turbo 2 being the mid engined 160bhp 1st gen 5 with the wide arches.., blah blah blah

There is a lad in the UK who has a Nissan Sunny in a similar style. It gets driven. I believe he did everything himself, it's awesome!

How about a Nissan S-Cargo?

Genuinely saw one of these the other day! They're all part of the Pike cars, same with the Figaro etc. all based on older models by other brands. I think the S-Cargo was based on a Citroen 2CV van
