For those with too much useless information cluttering up their brains or too much time on their hands, we will try a pub trivia quiz...
Rules may be added later, but try to keep it vaguely related to motoring.
If the quiz has been dormant for a few days, feel free to drop i another question.

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
First question:
What was the last production car to be fitted with a "Deluxe" badge on the boot lid?
I know the Ford 105 E usually was, and probably the Mk3 Cortina, but after that I can't think of any (and Ford decided that "Ghia" was more up-market).

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
Like it....I will attempt some guesses.
Will we be counting the DL abbreviation or are you wanting the full deluxe, in gleaming chrome emblazoned across the boot?

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
Here's a baseline for you, easily beaten of course, Deluxes after 1970 required
1970 Mazda 1300 Deluxe....bit rough looking now!

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
Possibly up to 1991 with this....
Trabant 601S Deluxe. Produced from 1964 up until 1991, and a good chance that the chrome "deluxe" badge may well have survived to the last of the production line, the duroplast body did!

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
More research needed, but there may well still be a 'Deluxe' being made*
However, the chances of seeing one on our roads are slim. I give you - The Kia Ray. The what !?!? you say
It was built for the South Korean domestic market, but they still seem to be churning them out.... at least they were last year.
Quote from wikipedia: "The Ray is also available in non-EV types equipped with gasoline and bi-fuel with a gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) combination. Both engines are available in four trims - Deluxe, Special, Luxury and Prestige. Only available in the local Korea domestic market, both engines produce similar power and outputs."

That's you lot educated
* - unable to confirm if the name 'Deluxe' appears on the boot lid

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
I have a feeling that the Hillman Minx deluxe had such a badge but finding a rear end picture might take a while.

THAT is definitely in the same category as the Hindustan Ambassador Classic i.e. absurd! (but brings a smile)

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
What is one step up from De-Luxe
......why its Super Luxe
........not a contender for newest car with such a badge, but maybe well up in the most inapropriate car for the description stakes.

Re: The Pickled Egg trivia quiz
That's a hell of a contrived answer !
As for the M96 - is it on a test track or stretch of motorway simulation ?
