1988?! You're kidding me... looks like it's from the 60s. -- Last edit: 2014-01-24 03:05:12 |

The rusted bottom was included in the price? |

I guess you didn't know the original Mini, which debuted in 1959, was continuously produced until 2000 but that doesn't compare to the time span of the original VW Beetle which produced from 1938 until 2003. |

I knew these cars remained in production well beyond their "used by date" but I had no idea anyone actually bought them as late as '88. Why on earth would you when you could get a far more modern car? I thought production continued just for "3rd world" consumption. -- Last edit: 2014-01-24 06:53:41 |

50ies to be precise. Released in 1959 and built until 2000. |

No. In the 3rd World noone is interested in outdated cars, which were so long produced, that they became a classic in their lifetime. The (mainly wealthy) fans of such anachronisms in developed countries are the reason for that. For that there are lot of examples as the VW Beetle (between 1978 and 1985 it was exported from Mexico the Germany, because enough lovers had been here), the Citroen 2CV, the Renault 4, the Landrover, the Volvo 240-Series and of course the Mini. You can add the Mercedes/Puch G and the Lada Niva, too. The NSU Prinz 4 should have been stopped in 1969, when NSU became a part of Audi, but the production continued until 1973, because the Italians were a kind of crazy for that car. Its success there collapsed immediately, when the Fiat 127 was released. A bit similar was it with the two-stroke-powered DKW (which were, except the F102, based on early 40ies technic). There was a small, but fanatic fan-scene up to the 60ies. -- Last edit: 2014-01-24 10:15:36 |

lol that's pretty much all they drive there is older vehicles. |

o.k., more precise: they are not interested in outdated, but new cars. |

One of the earliest Citys after Aug 88 dropped the City E name and the new rear wing sticker appeared. |
