Ukrainian Hunter


Spotted in Ukrain by Glomerus. This one has some clever headlamp and tail lamps modification with most likely some local parts?

Poor Man's Benz

Translation: "Rich people drive Benz but I'm a poor man and got a Paykan, Oh Paykan how much I love you cause you are a poor man's Benz."
Special thanks to Naz for the photo! ;)

On The Move


The Hillman Hunter GT was a unique Australian car released in 1969. It combined the upmarket interior including veneer walnut dashboard, with the twin carburetors alloy head. The GT name was dropped in 1970 when the car was replaced with the Royal 660. There was a British Hillman GT which had a "Poverty Pack" interior.

Dealing with Tehran's traffic is a daily grind for millions of people, you need nerves of steel behind the wheel. This is a newspaper clip from few years ago.
