In case you were wondering what would happen if you combined the classic Jaguar Mk2 and Nissan Micra, don’t worry. We have the answer – the Mitsuoka Viewt. This crazy, retro-futuristic car comes from one of Japan’s most obscure brands. Which is dedicated to building retro-inspired cars based on ordinary models. The Viewt was introduced in 1993 and is still in production. The chassis, drive train, doors, and glass are all from regular production Micra. But the front and rear end are unmistakably Jaguar, complete with a chrome grille, bumpers, and headlights (via Mitsuoka).

The Jaguar Mk2 is one of the best-looking British sedans ever made. Still, elegance and appearance are gone when its characteristic front end is transplanted on a cheap Japanese compact car, making Viewt a bizarre and repelling model. Fortunately, they are only sold in Japan and are quite expensive, so production is limited.
