About China's Coolest Cars
A JAC Binyue sedan, seen in Tai’an in Shandong Province in the summer of 2018. The good Binyue was in a fine shape. It was painted in black, I think all of them were, as I have never seen one in another color.

A Changhe A6, seen in front of a Changhe dealer in Tai’an in Shandong Province in the summer of 2018. The A6 was painted bright red with darkened windows and black mirror stalks. The car stood on a light red carpet, a rather crappy carpet for that matter. And faded. It was once as red as the car, probably, but it had almost turned into pink.
A beautiful Mini Cooper Mk VII, seen in Beijing back in 2013 on the parking lot of my apartment building near Dongzhimen in central Beijing. The good Mini was in a fantastic shape, painted in light blue with black window frames, a lot of chrome, a Hello Kitty sticker on the windshield, and the sporty wide tires with alloys wheels.

Let’s get back to the story right away: I got a tip from a friend about two Hongqi state limousines gathering dust at a parking garage in north Beijing. Last time I discussed the first car, now it is time for the second. Sadly, it was in a worse shape than the first. Happily, I met the owner.

A beautiful Beijing-Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5, seen in 2011 in Beijing. The good Cherokee was painted in beige. This was a factory color but almost nobody went for it, so beige Chinese Cherokee’s are very rare. The car was in a good shape when I met it. The gold colored alloy wheels and fog lights were standard on high-spec models.

A Peugeot 505SX sedan, seen at a fishing port in the great beach town of Nandaihe in Hebei Province in August 2011. The good Peugeot was as dusty as the surroundings but appeared to be in a fine shape, painted in silver with darkened windows, with the original factory wheels, and with a Chinese flag attached to the antenna. Behind the car are fishing boats, fishing equipment, a tractor, and a refrigerated truck.
