History
The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Asia Rocsta page on 10 April 2020, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
The Asia Rocsta is a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle built by Asia Motors Corporation in South Korea.
The Rocsta is derived from the Korean army's 4WD vehicle, also developed by Asia Motors. Because this model was cheaper than competing 4WD vehicles, it contributed to the increase in popularity of offroad racing in Korea.
Asia Motors launched the Rocsta in 1990, and retired it in 1997. From 1998, the Rocsta's replacement, the Asia Retona, was sold under the Kia badge.
UK sales of the Rocsta ran from 1994–1997, which included both 1.8 litre petrol and 2.2 litre diesel models. Both could be purchased with either a hard or soft-top. Both models were distributed by Kia Motors and used Kia copies of standard Mazda engines, with five-speed manual transmission.
The Rocsta was also sold in Australia between 1993 and 2000.

After spending a day at Sea World, I walked out into the car park and spotted this! I don't think I've ever been so surprised to see such a rare and unusual car just sitting there. These were sold in Australia from 1993 to 2000 and in New Zealand from 1993 to 1998, although this is the only one I've ever seen in either country. These quickly built up a reputation for being unreliable, poorly built and hideously unsafe, which is probably why not many were sold anywhere! View photo of 1994 Asia Rocsta - 1.2MB |

This one might be from the latest ones to be built, it had a 2004 plate but its just too new for it. It was spotted in Castro-Urdiales (Cantabria). View photo of Asia Rocsta - 1.0MB |
