1993 Legion Wimbrel 1.4 BX Liftback
Background
The venerable Homura/Legion QDC platform, first introduced in 1982 and by this point technically replaced, continued sales through the early 1990s alongside it’s replacement as a more affordable alternative for those still in need of a larger family vehicle. In the late 1980s, when it was re-named from the Gull to the Wimbrel, it was given a more upright, formal front end treatment, raising the hood line and allowing for the use of a wider variety of engine options than the Homura boxer engine options previously offered. This 1.4 BX Liftback takes advantage of that, using a brand new corporate “Iro” 1.4 liter I4 with MPEFI, still paired with the longitudinal Homura 4 speed manual transmission.
