Looks mid-1980ies to me. Production ran from 1979–1995 and Peugeot hat an assembly plant in Nigeria at the time.
US model with those weird standard headlights:

Don’t play “chicken” with an aircraft carrier. Unless you’re a lighthouse.

Love that 1980s boxy look. Pininfarina designed!

Its headlights and their particular mode of installation look similar to recessed lights in ceilings.

Some British cars also had door handles like this in the 1980s, I remember them on Austin Allegros and Range Rovers.

The model 3 is already fairly spartan so it would be kinda amusing to see just how much stuff they could strip out of those in order to make them as cheap as possible. They should really go all-in on the cost reduction strategy and take it down to the legal minimum for maximum savings:
(Osman didn’t go far enough IMHO. He kept the hubcaps?? Such unnecessary decadence.)

I just bought this:
It is huge and comfortable, like driving a very plush tank, and it is ponderously, but relentlessly fast. Like, it will cheerfully shove you back into your seat accelerating from 70 to 90, should you need to leave some lane-weaving idiot far, far behind you. I love it,and am going to transport much furniture and go on many camping trips in it.

An old friend of mine told me about something he did for fun as a youth in the 1970s. He had a VW Beetle that he then stripped down to the point where it was basically the engine, frame, transmission, steering rack, wheels, brakes, and suspension. He sat on a milk crate and steered with a Vise Grip. I wouldn’t have believed it if he didn’t show me photos of him driving around in it.

I wonder what he did about the gas tank?

I can’t remember if he kept the gas tank, or simply put the gas line into a Coke bottle. Either seems equally plausible to me.

…and it is absolutely adorable.

Lot of arseholes here for me. Obviously the “prank” was done to point out that drivers make walking an unsafe activity. And the numbers are in on that: nobody walks or cycles in rural Ireland any more because the amount of entitled arseholes driving at excessive and dangerous speeds are through the roof. Note: this dummy was “placed by the roadside” and they ploughed through it. Are the Gardaí going to at least give them an adult caution for dangerous driving? That easily meets the threshold.

Addis Ababa Light Rail
Wikipedia says it took 3 years to build the 31.6 km system. I am aware they had some serious problems with its construction, but just for the sake of comparison, the 26.1 km Purple Line near where I live in MD will have taken 10 years to build, if it opens as planned in 2027 ( 
but they really mean that, this time)

My local light rail line took even longer to build, but would you believe that Los Angeles, of all places, actually now has the world’s longest light rail line at 48.5 miles (77 km) and it’s still getting longer?
