Bond produced their first 3-wheeler in 1948/1949, these being fitted with Villiers 2-stroke motorcycle engines. In 1965 the two-strokes were replaced by Hillman Imp units, mounted in the rear. In 1970 Bond introduced the Bond Bug, an entirely new design by Tom Karen, featuring a hinged roof instead of doors. The engine was a 4-cylinder 701 cc unit that delivered 29 hp at 5000 rpm. |

The Chrysler 180 was the base name for a series of large saloon cars produced by Chrysler Europe. Resulting from joining development efforts of Rootes Group and Simca, the car was produced from 1970 to 1975 in Poissy, France, and later in Chrysler's subsidiary Barreiros' factory in Spain. The Chrysler 180 was also the base for the medium-sized model built by Chrysler Australia, the Chrysler Centura. Depending on engine employed, the cars were marketed as Chrysler 160/180/2 litre, and since 1977 in France and rest of continental Europe as Chrysler-Simca 1609/1610/2 litres.
After the takeover of Chrysler Europe by PSA Peugeot Citroen, the continental Europe models were renamed Talbot 1610/2 litres for 1979 and 1980 model years, after which the model was discontinued in Europe save for Spain, where a diesel model was sold until 1982. The large Chrysler fared quite poorly in the principal European markets. The replacement for the car was developed by Chrysler Europe under the codename C9 and was finally launched by PSA as the even more ill-fated Talbot Tagora. |

ZIL 117 |

|
The need for a compact more manoeuvrable car of the same quality meant that by 1971 some five-seater saloon bodied ZIL-117s were produced. This baby ZIL was similar in size to Gorky's Chaika (130 in. wheelbase, 225 in. overall-length), but was heavier, at 56.7 cwt. Thanks to the claimed 300 bhp engine its top speed appeared to be higher than on any other Soviet passenger car previously made, surpassing the magic 200 kph (125 mph) mark. |

A little later a third, drop head version, the ZIL 117V, joined the ranks of these coveted USSR cars. The figures concerning the actual numbers of cars built were never released in the USSR. |
