In case this connection goes in, I have a question: should I connect the next car to Uno Turbo Mk2 exactly or can I use simply Fiat Uno connection?

OK, I have found another connection, so that question does not matter much now :)

How about this?
Fiat Uno Turbo Mk2 - Connaught B - both cars officially wore only Pirelli tyres.

The Isdera uses that part of the Beetle that all other replica builders throw in the bin: the basic structure of the passenger comparment, the doors and rear side windows.

Willys Jeep CJ2A    and     1948 Jicey F2    because both cars have a name that is the pronounciation of just two letters: G.P. (general purpose) and J.C. (Jean Caillas, the name of the founder).
