1978 Vulture Admiral SX
An all-purpose Aussie motor, Once you arrive in Australia, You’ll most likely be picked up in an Admiral. Similarly if you end up upsetting the local Police force, You’ll also be picked up in an Admiral. And with its T-Bar Automatic Transmission and Straight-6 Engine, It will take some time to reach your destination. But atleast in 45 Years some Aussie Bloke will insist on calling it a nugget, Only to fill the petrol tank with Vegemite.
This is the FMW Monza family, here are the Station Wagon and Sedan models, these specifically have the V12 5.5 Bi Turbo engine with 670HP and 990Nm of torque, the gearbox is an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic and All-Wheel drive.
one of the few times I’ve tried making something modern, the 2020 EAM D620xR, itself inspired quite a bit by the Audi RS6
it’s one of my older designs as well, had a poor sense of scale and picked the 2.7m body while E-segment cars usually have the wheelbase around 2.9m
1986 Alvern Lesmere LX
The perfect car for any 80s British Rep moving up in the Corporate ladder, Boring, Plastic and with a Wealth notifier [Trim Badge] on the bootlid. And most Crucially for Britain, a Sunroof, so you can enjoy the Two weeks a year of sunshine Britain actually gets.
I redownloaded the Al-Rilma version of the game and found this sedan that I think I was making for JOC7A. Just added the plastic cladding on the front and rear bumpers and changed the colour from the “Primer Grey” I use for designing to the Wulsen green, cause I ‘think’ I was trying to make a mid 80s Wulsen Boar.
1960 Barclay StarFort
Although Barclay’s Bread and Butter cars were Luxurious barges the size of Small Dictatorships and Using so much fuel, that they singlehandedly ensured the Oil industry remained healthy.
In 1960, they tried something new, a Luxurious Small [For US standards] car. The StarFort was Stylish, Modern and for Barclay’s standards, Fuel-efficient. A strong following amongst Lower Governmental figures, Penny-pinching executives and as a Second car for wives ensured the StarFort’s idea and name remained in Barclay’s Line-Up until 2006.
Here are a few more I cooked up recently:
Made for JOC7B.
Recently revised for GTM1.
A caricature of malaise design, but not designed as a meme. Wanna know more (or download)? My random stuff thread (back from the dead!) is your destination then.
2000 Larroque Charmoz 4x4 2.4 DTi
2000 - 2009
A firm favourite of vets and French farm shop car parks, the Charmoz 4x4 was little more than just a standard Charmoz with raised suspension, 4WD and some plastic cladding nailed to it. To go with its ‘rugged’ looks was a 2.4 Turbodiesel, just to make the driving experience even more miserable.
It carved itself a small cult following it maintains to this day, being consistently touted as a ‘Future Classic’, also becoming engrained into the history books with multiple ‘Tow car of the year’ awards across its lifespan.
1957 Ramlot Fireline Special
A true piece of 50s American motoring, column shifter, fins and an ashtray that was almost certainly already used by one of the people responsible for quality control at the factory.
An ‘everything’ car, being popular with taxi companies, police fleets, family men and several gangs. Despite the flashy exterior, the standard-fitted engine was just a 232cui Straight-6, a remnant of when this car was originally intended to be a budget model in the Ramlot range.

This is nice
1992 Mariz Meridian 1.8TLX
‘Meridian, The saloon you never expected from Mariz’
Prior to the Meridian, Mariz was the butt of many a joke in pretty much anywhere that wasn’t Spain, below average quality, outdated designs and a near non-existent dealer network outside of Spain all contributed to the brand’s poor reputation on the rest of the continent.
This came to ahead in the late 1980s, when Mariz was awarded ‘Worst auto manufacturer’ by European car reviewers 3 years in a row.
In response to falling sales and consistent blows to their reputation, Mariz spent almost everything they had designing the Meridian and building a larger dealer network in preparation for the launch of their most crucial model, which debuted at the 1991 Frankfurt motor show.
So high was the demand for the Meridian, that it was the first Mariz to have a waiting list to get one, as the company simply couldn’t build them fast enough. 35 years after the car’s launch, it remains clear that without it, Mariz most likely would have folded before the turn of the century.
The 1998 Daisen Colima, a basic, small, FWD saloon with a 1.8l engine and a 4 speed auto. Here are the USDM and JDM variants
I love the look of this. I can tell you’re a professional.
edit: I wonder how you make those headlight have side markers without stretching.
