In 1978, debuted a new brand on the Dutch market: Hyundai. With the sharply priced by Giugiaro-drawn Pony tried the Korean brand for the Dutch consumer to convince.

Hyundai made until 1975 mainly Ford Cortina’s license but introduced in 1975 their first self-developed model. The engine and driveline of these Ponies were from Mitsubishi while some parts of the Ford Cortina found their way into the Italian-designed compact car. As one of the first countries outside of South Korea, the Netherlands was in 1978, also get acquainted with the Pony.

This Pony 1.2 DLX which is now on Autoscout24 is offered is one from 1979, and so a whole early. In any case Hyundai Ponies of the first generation (just as the other generations for that matter) is almost extinct, in as-new condition used, original and unrestored Pony is probably unique. According to the ad the car 17 years in a heated garage stood before two years ago back out of hibernation to be awakened.

Do not expect any excessive luxury, despite the pretentious DLX badge on the side. A radio and a clock, and then you have the luxury. The 1200cc big transistor in the cabin produces 69 hp. Undoubtedly enough to 910 kg light Pony, in a color that Hyundai still delivers, still somewhat respectable speeds, but it still is primarily a car for Sunday afternoon.

Although a Hyundai Pony, meanwhile, many times rarer than a Jaguar E-Type or Austin Healy, you will probably be quite a lot to explain if you autovrienden tells you that you’re a Hyundai from 1979 purchased. Yet you have to this Hyundai certainly see as a classic: to him, not yet one year away to rust he must be inside sleeping, and the parts search is likely to be a significant challenge. The price for this piece of extremely rare autohistorie? Four backs, and that’s still negotiable also. Who dares?
