@fiat fan sadly the car is now ruined!   It sports a widebody "Ferrari Testarosa" body kit!    Came up for sale last year

Correct! Your turn!   It's a Fortuner Davy, the black bit on the front bumper runs all the way to the fogs unlike the Hilux. And the Lancer has fared much better compared to the Fortu

I am lost on this one, I think its British and has similar lines to a Standard 10, but that grille is very different. So yes please some kind of clue.

Yes it is a British car. I've added a more generous picture but can't move it further towards the left, the model name will be visible 😉

The evolution of 'sadakal-oba-mage'... the unjustly vilified, feared pariah of the 90's! 

I'll wait if someone else want's to answer.

I think @iRage would disagree with that statement. They were infact very good vehicles, there is one gent from my home town who is still using one (1st owner). He wont sell it for anything.

Yeah which is why i said 'unjustly vilified' - while I have no experience with one, what I read/heard made me believe the negative perception was baseless. Maybe the local makabass community of the 90s were not ready for it when it landed here in the mid 90's

Yeah...it was not as bad as people made it out to be. In fact it was one of the best handling vehicles of its class at the time. Being an outcome of the 901 Movement the manufacturer put a lot in to the handling of the car. The suspension was not the usual run of the leaf spring as well. The wagons (we got quite a few low trim level ones) had a multi-link setup with a transversely mounted leaf spring. The cargo variants had a rigid leaf spring and it was a bit saggy for our locals. On top of that the car was heavier than the old model everyone loved. So it felt a bit sluggish unless you hammered the living day lights out of it which affected fuel consumption. I think the more bearable variant was the diesel. But then the CD engines were seemingly not as straight forward as the CA engines for our wrench monkeys to work on.

SO combination of it all meant our guys pretty much demonized the car.

Did this apparent 'complexity' contribute to the lower popularity of the CD engine based vehicles as a whole - (basically CD20 and CD17)? the Makabass community seem to have a 'Nissan podi diesel engine Leda' mentality. The Toyota light diesel 1C/2C (1N is an exception) powered corollas corolla wagons and townaces are much more popular as opposed to the Sunnys wingroads bluebirds and vanettes (sticking to just Toyo and Nissan since the 90's were all about these two brands - of course the makabass community also attest that isuzu diesel engines  are bulletproof)

Well...in many ways the CD was a bit more temperamental than the 1 & 2 C Toyota engines. For starters they do not like bad fuel <back in the day that was quite an irony as we were not fully into the whole clean diesel thing...diesel was dirty...and a diesel engine didn't like dirty fuel ? WTFH !!!?? :D >. Also for some reason it did have cooling issues in general. I also remember people claiming that the timing belt didn't last that long. All in all, it had weird things that the baases couldn't figure out compared to the CA engine...or even the LD diesel engine the previous model came with.

Hope the makabaas fellows have a different view of the engines on the new version (oh wait "mahaththaya meke transmission polla nehene").

Ok since we all seem to agree on what this vehicle is I'll just formalize it. 

It's a Nissan Serena. The picture I've posted is the e-power variant.

Ok then something from a forgotten brand that has roots dating back to the 1930s. This particular model is from the 1990s.

From an era where cars from this country were iffy. We had a refrigerator under the same brand around 20 years ago. 

This would be a Daewoo Leganza and most of them still running would be probably on Japanese drivetrains.
