A curious Brazilian-market model, the new-for-1983 Fiat Oggi was a slightly ungainly 2-door notchback version of the 147 (the local version of the 127). Its name means 'today' in Italian - somewhat ironically given the 127 design was 12 years old by this stage.

Most Lada importers in the west printed their own brochures, but this is an attractive item in English from the Soviet Union itself, focusing on the 2106 (usually known as the 1600). At its price it did indeed offer 'luxury' features for the late 1970s.

The second iteration of the attempt to find a niche for a Bertone-built (and badged), BMW-engined Daihatsu 4X4 in Europe, the lightly restyled Freeclimber 2 was based on the Japanese company's Feroza/Sportrak, but only lasted for two years.

Pegaso's strange supercar venture died in 1958, but in 1992 there was a revival attempt, based on the Z-103, the company's last car. UK design house IAD worked with Pegaso trucks on the updated Spyder, with Rover 3.9-litre V8 power. It seems just 4 were made.

An Alfasud Ti-engined three-door hatch clothed in a 1980s body sounds like a recipe for success. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for the infamous Arna featured in this UK brochure. The Alfa grille couldn't conceal its Nissan Cherry origins.

One of Nissan's legendary 'Pike Factory' models, the S-Cargo (a pun on escargot) was by far the most cartoonish, and had a notably Citroënesque interior. This 1989 brochure is for Japan, the only market where it was sold new (in limited numbers).

The original Panda was quite roomy for its size, but that didn't stop Fiat developing a strange tacked-on rear extension for one van variant. This 1998 Italian brochure shows the extended model alongside the more conventional Citivan.

Inventing new marques was all the rage in the 1980s, so Ford US came up with Merkur (German for Mercury) to underline the heritage of its newly imported XR4Ti, a Ford Sierra in Europe. Merkur would later add a Scorpio to its line-up too.

Skoda was one of the most successful Eastern Bloc makes in UK, with the importer adding many extras while maintaining rock bottom prices. This 1986 brochure covers the facelifted Estelle Two saloons, the Rapid coupé and a locally-converted cabrio.
