I’ve not seen one, but looking at those pictures, the front wings, bonnet, headlamps, front indicators, fuel cap door mirrors and door handles look distinctly Mk4 Ford Escort from the 1980’s. The rear quarter looks quite like a Ford Orion from the same era, minus the rear doors.

Curiosity got the better of me so I’ve just done an internet search - the VW Apollo was one of two models produced by AutoLatina which was a joint venture between the Brazilian subsidiaries of VW and Ford. The other vehicle was badged as a Ford; the Ford Verona.

Every day’s a school day………. :smiley:

Looks mad . I quite like it . I wonder if the car was any good or really bad . Got a bit of sierra sapphire vibe to the rear also
