Wow. That Renault 4 looks brilliant.
Was the Herald actually a Herald, or was it built under license in South America under another name?
Fantastic snaps, Jonny. One day...

At least you got one that still resembled a Corsa at the front. I've recently been aware of one Chevy from Brasil with Vectra front lights

That's a Celta. It was in the next category down (the bottom one) and I refused to drive one so actually paid for for the Belmontified Corsa.
