Was that a Misubishi Colt CZC? - JH

I saw a small, hard top convertible with a Mitsubishi badge on the front (curiously no badge on the rear) last night heading from Chester towards Wrexham. Firstly, full marks for having the top down on a warm evening but, and I hardly dare mention this given the enthusiasm shown in another thread, it was amazingly ugly. The rear was completely out of proportion to the front. I half expected to see a control tower on one side and a man with ping pong bats guiding an aircraft in! :-) OK, I'm exaggerating but the driving position did seem to be well forward, with the usual supermini short nose, but then this big long tail bringing up the rear. That was a CZC?

never seen one without a badge on the back (did you manage to age it via the registration) maybe its had some customization, although i doubt any one would want to make the back any bigger then it already is.

i find there is a slight optical illusion when the roof is down it does make the back end appear bigger at different angles but i think this is down to the rear seats not being too visible (unlike in other convertibles the rear seats have no head rests)it makes it easier to view the rear seat space as part of the boot making the back appear longer.

the car itself is a real marmite thing you either love it or hate it

Thanks W, I didn't notice any rear seats at all so I guess the rear may have appeared longer than it really was.
