does anyone ever see any of these about any more? my head decided it like one for some reason, so i'm now following orders did they face lift these at any point coz i think the early ones were a bit squarer on the front but might be thinking of something else

I saw one in use in Whitby about a year ago. I have to admit liking this particular piece of tat too.
They facelifted them several times, though I don't know all the details.

You mean one of these This is the Mk2 Pony, the Mk1 being more '70's j-tin' styled. Based on the Morris Marina which is why the pick-up looks soooo much like the Morris 575 pickup (Ital). I'd love to get my mitts on a three or five-door saloon version, but rockin' 'orse sh*t springs to mind......

I'm amazed, I can't find one for sale anywhere in the world, not even the saloon version. I don't speak Korean, I wonder if their version of eBay has one.

Here is an earlier saloon, the pick-ups had the same front end. My mate a work bought one for £185, ran it for four years, cost him £50 for parts for all four MOTs and finally weighed it in when the floor fell out! Brilliant little wagons......
