A leisure vehicle designed to cope with 'most terrain', the Renault-powered Kish Khodro Sinad surprisingly hailed from the Islamic Republic of Iran. This 2000 brochure was coy about the looks of the model (styled by IAD in the UK), blurring the covers and only using small images inside. #weirdcarbs

Also making an apperance in the brochure was the odd-looking Tiz 2 convertible, said to be due for introduction in the coming year. Set up with the help of British investment, Kish Khodro hoped to produce 10,000 vehicles a year, 40% for export, but such projections unsurprisingly proved optimistic.

These odd versions of the Renault 5 mk1 were made by Pars Khodro in Iran, which had built the original car for years. In the early 2000s its version of the R5 body gained the platform and mechanicals from the Kia Pride (aka Ford Festiva/Mazda 121), hence the PK's strange proportions. #weirdcarbs

The change of platform was down to the fact that Pars Khodro was working with another Iranian manufacturer, SAIPA, which built the Pride under licence in quite large numbers, also developing an export trade to countries aligned with Iran.

Thanks to the 405 interior, the 1600RD, launched in 1998, was more luxurious and well-equipped than the Paykan could dream of. State-owned Iran Khodro sold the car as a bridge between the Paykan and 'proper' front-wheel-drive 405-based models, which it also built.

Pars Khodro had been founded in the Shah's time, originally assembling mostly US vehicles. After the Islamic Revolution it forged links with Nissan, building the Patrol 4X4. This '80s brochure cryptically states 'Travel with Nissan Patrol would be full of dream and monumental moments in happy days'.

Today on anything but a Humvee, the Iranian Fath Safir. Post-WW2, Iran LOVED the Jeep and they became a status symbol. In 1959, local assembly started at the Pars Khodro plant, then AMC and GM signed a joint venture during the Shah-era. The plant still makes enlarged 4-eyed Jeeps

В Иране показали лимузин длиной почти 10 метров, созданный на базе «бюджетника» Iran Khodro Dena+. Автомобиль разрезали пополам, добавив в середину «тоннель», но силовую установку менять не стали — под капотом остался 1,8-литровый движок на 98 сил.
