1975 Mini 6-Wheel Pickup
We’ve featured quite a few pickup conversions (sometimes called Utes as a nod to Ozzies) over the years, but this is one of the most interesting. Not only was this Mini gifted a bed, it was extended substantially and gained two wheels in the process. Dually, you ask? No! An entire axle was added. We…

Toyota “Solarup”
This is just the type of vehicle to wake Oddimotive up from a slumber that’s been a bit too long. Here we have a Solara Convertible – the more reliable alternative to a Chrysler Sebring Convertible – which has had part of a Ford Explorer Sport Trac grafted onto its rear. We went with Solarup…

Bittersweet Opel
1985 Bitter is the incarnation of one man’s seemingly very reasonable dream: Supercar styling with reliable and common underpinnings. Erich Bitter, a former race driver, was the man with the vision and what we have here is an exotic body and luxury interior wrapped around an Opel Senator executive sedan.

Microcar 3-Fer!
We’re big fans of multi-car deals and, needless to say, we like them even more when oddities are involved.

Minup: Ex-Red Bull Mini Pickup
Let’s get this out there: The Suzuki X90 represents the Holy Grail of ex-Red Bull vehicles. With that out of the way, this Mini is a close second and, well, it’s the only other choice.

(Help Me) Ronda? Yes, it’s a Rover Honda.
Today’s feature is a Rover 216SE, falsely advertised as a 316. Why is this a Ronda? It’s because this is essentially a rebadged Honda Ballade, which, in turn, was a slightly fancier Honda Civic. If a Sterling is too common for you, this Rover 216 should do the trick.
