I must have a Metrocab on my list of the '90s' favourites, then another Toyota that fits the bill would be the Hi
Lux Surf, chiefly notable for being the only mass produced car to be named after not one, but two brands of soap powder.
Wow, four already, last one from me must be the mini, the real one, which works in this sort of situation whether the decade was the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or early 00s. I can't get into them these days unless they look like this:
Aye well, C'est la guerre.
