Well I'm not going to post any cars that I don't know about the existence of because I don't know they exist 
but I might post a few that I think others may not know of, such as this. No point in naming it, someone else can have that fun...

They don't have a hood on the windscreen models but they have a bit of canvass that stretches from the roll bar to the screen frame. A bit like a luggage blind!
...and the coupé derivative the Helem V6 with the PRV 6 cyl. instead of the 2 litre 4 cyl.

A mates mum used to own one of these years ago. Never seen another one. Nissan Bluebird Turbo ZX. 1.8 turbo, pity it only had 135bhp
I remember those. They usually seemed to be white or bright red. Think the ZX Turbo came in the hatchback too but I never took much notice of them so I'm not sure.

Yes, a Chevette front with HS2300 bumper/airdam on a Kadett C Coupé shell and it's not a Chevrolet Chevette, Holden Gemini, Isuzu Gemini or Buick Opel or a Daewoo.

Used to see a VR6 VW Sharan driving past every morning when walking to school.
South Africa have estate and saloon versions of the Corsa B. And probably lots more that I don't know about.
There is a factory version of the Mk3 Astra saloon which comes with a C20LET (2.0 16v Turbo) and is called the '200TS'. Not sold here.
You can get 5 door DC2s, not sure on DC5s.
If I remember correctly also, there was a Pontiac (maybe GTO?) The same bodyshell as a Mk2 Astra. Must research that one actually... Edit - It was a Pontiac Le Mans! I remember because a man near me had one years ago, all the way from US and A it seems.

I'm not sure it was sold as a Chevrolet Condor anywhere. There was a Chevrolet Chevette in the US (they got a five door hatch which wasn't offered by Vauxhall or Opel
) and a Brazilian one with the flat nose of the Opel Kadett C but the one I posted is from Ecuador and manufactured under the brand 'Aymesa';
so Aymesa Condor.
They seem to build Kia products now: http://www.aymesa.ec/

One of those (in red also) was at the Eglinton Classic Show (Derry) this year.

Jeez, never seen that around and I'm in Glenavy pretty often.
On another note, I see a Safrane thingy pretty often in Bristol.
Oh yeah, another thing, the Renault Spider jobby's used to be a support race in the TOCA / BTCC package. I saw them at Brands and Dony for a few years 95 - 99 when I used to follow the touring cars a lot. They were low, made an elise look like an MPV.
