Exploring China's Wild Automotive World
A beige brown W201 Mercedes-Benz 190E, seen on a somewhat hidden parking lot in central Beijing. The great old Benz was in a reasonable shape, and was apparently still used as a daily driver. Front light units show that this…
A black Guangzhou-Peugeot 505 SX2 sedan, seen on a car repair market in east Beijing, parked next to a red Mercedes-Benz. The good Peug’ was sadly in pretty bad shape, and apparently abandoned.
A speedy Peugeot RCZ, seen in the northeast of the Chinese capital Beijing. The fast Frenchman was painted in dark red, with a silver black roof.
An incredible clean first generation Audi TT 1.8T quattro roadster, fitted with the factory hardtop and painted in the iconic ‘Audi-silver’ shade.
A fine Volkswagen Sharan MPV, seen in the far east of the Chinese capital Beijing. It was covered in a heavy load of China’s famous dust, painted in green, and standing on sporty five-spoke wheels.
This is the new Beijing Auto New Energy EU5 R500, a compact electric sedan from China. It looks great and even a bit futuristic, especially at the front.
An ultra speedy 997 Porsche 911 Turbo S, with a matching license plate. It is painted in a very special beige-white shade and fitted with an aftermarket body kit.
This is a Chevrolet Express 1500 Explorer Limited conversion van. It is based on the 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500, and converted by an American outfit called the ‘Explorer Van Company’, and that is a great name.
A wine red Toyota Previa, seen at a car inspection site in east Beijing. The pretty Previa was in a pretty good shape, and likely the best I have ever seen in country.
