What you are looking here is the Brazilian-built Transtina – Brazil’s answer to the Ford Galaxy/VW Sharan. I’d like to pretend that it was the product of an official joint venture between Ford and Volkswagen, but I think it’s more likely to be the result of someone with a sense of humour drinking one too many Caiprinhas.
I found the photo on Autoshite, but I don’t know who to credit for the picture.

Front half could even be a Ford Corcel - was under discussion on Autoshite forum. The Corsel was basically a rebodied Renault 12. Give away is the three-stud hub.
Looks fantastically ungainly. I guess someone wanted to maximise space in the rear and moved the engine out front?
