It's up here just outside Glasgow.

The Guy has a load of interesting cars that he sell's in a part time way! I keep meaning to go and have another good look at it but I know what mightl happen if I do.............................. My garage has 5 cars already so there is no room at the Inn.

Keep seeing the one on SM, and keep thinking that is so strange maybe I should, please remove it before I spend anymore of Mrs Zs kitchen fund

The SM Karif used to belong to Marios at Autoshield some time ago I think, it's a nice motor..!!

I will be up north in the next few weeks might have to go and have a better look in the flesh so to speak

Karif are fantastic cars , I had a few in the past and have a fantastic example that was in a collection in Italy .
The car has only done 8500km drives and looks like a New car .

I have a customer in Manchester that has nine Karif .

If anybody is looking for one speak to me and I will help .

It's one of the best cars I have ever driven

He has owned 9 Karif's, or currently has 9 Karif's?!

 

[marios kriticos]

He has 9 Karif in his collection

Wow!
I would imagine they are quite nimble, being relatively light weight and quite compact, almost Lancia Fulvia like.

 

[mjheathcote]

The more I look at them, the more I am being drawn to them!

 

[Andyk]

I loved them when they came out.....especially the last ones that had different bumpers front and back....

Looks like a hard top stuck on a Bi Turbo cabriolet

Sweet looking thing, I think. Would also look nice in the garage (if I kept cars in the garage)

Ummmm...Suppose it is....

It used the same short chassis, so basically, yes.

 

[Andyk]

That short wheel base always made the car a bit of a handful back then I believe...Love it.

Just a shame the roof design is so 'clunky'...almost seems an afterthought...could have been a wonderful opportunity.

Disagree, I think it suits the square lines of that era, like the Lancia Fulvia roof line.

 

[Andyk]

I agree Mike...It was one of my Favs from that time...

 

[hodroyd]

It does look a little bit like the roof was an afterthought though, still a nice looking car, it was the styling of the day..!!
