DOTS: 1986 Daihatsu Charade wants to be a Detomasso badly
Posted in dots
One day you write about a Daihatsu Charade Detomasso and the next day you will pass a Charade that wants to be a Detomasso badly!
Daihatsu Charade G11 wants to be a Detomasso badly
This Charade TS Daimatic (Daihatsu and Automatic together? Just like Hondamatic?) may not be en-par with the Detomasso but it certainly wished to look like one with its chicken-fence grille and aftermarket exhaust!

do you know the license plate of that car? My grandfather had an exact same version of that, but he sold it cheap, and i didn’t want it at that time (stupid me) and now it lives in the big scrapyard in the sky 🙁 I know there’s a car with almost the same license plate still around 🙂
Daimatic is a 2 speed automatic, which you still have to shift yourself, but without a clutch… so it’s a bit strange 😀
dug in my archives, and here’s a pic of it, in all it’s glory…

I want one in the same colour 😀
This one starts with PK-89-, so it is not the one (almost) the same to your grandfathers car… But I can put a piece of paper under its windshield wiper if you want to…
Clutch-pedal-less two speed? Sounds just as wicked as the clutch-handle-less Honda Cub. 😉
