Laotian Mystery Car

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

This sedan attracted the attention of a friend visiting Laos. He’s a car buff but has no idea what it is. Given its apparent build quality, it’s probably a major manufacturer’s creation rebadged for a foreign market.

Looks BMW Bavaria-influenced, though I don’t know of Bimmer pulling off its well known badge for an “m.” The front end suggests a bit of Lancia, though some googling around turned up nothing especially close to it.

One approach might be to knock on the door and see if the homeowner speaks a common language and has some background. My friend’s son found this, however, which suggested the car’s owner might not be up to talking.

They left well enough along. Quickly.
