Another badass Nissan Patrol for the collection. I saw this one in 2016 in Beijing, it was a bit dusty but a clean Patrol is not really a good Patrol. These cars need to be dirty and full with mud! The beige color scheme works very well on the big Patrol, almost as if it just came back out from the desert.

A Nanjing NJ1020 Unique van, seen in the great city of Guangzhou, capital of China’s Guangdong Province, in 2015. The fine old van was in a good shape, painted in factory green , and fitted with decidedly non-factory wide tires and shiny gold alloys.
A superbly beautiful Great Wall Safe SUV, seen in the great city of Jinan, capital of China’s Shandong Province, in 2017. The good Safe was in a totally perfect original shape inside and out.

A pretty Tianma Fengchi KZ6490E SUV, seen in the great city of Jinan in Shandong Province in 2017. The Fengchi was in reasonable shape, getting a bit old, needing some love. But happily it was largely original, with the factory wheels and decals.

A jolie Peugeot 406 sedan, seen in Beijing back in 2015. The French sedan was in a great shape, painted in a deep shade of blue and fitted with the original multispoke alloy wheels.

Here we have a Kia Qianlima 1.6 GLS sedan, seen in Beijing in 2015. The good Kia was very dusty, and muddy as well, but in a fine overall shape. It was painted in a neutral shade of white and fitted with the original five-spoke wheels.
The Kia Qianlima, best translated as ‘Long Distance Race Horse’, was a small sedan made in China by the Dongfeng-Yueda-Kia joint venture from 2003 until 2006.
