Mr Lobster Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Had a couple of weeks in Greece for our honeymoon and managed to see a decent amount of treasures.... To start with, early Scirocco was nice though would have been better with proper wheels Dead GSA Possibly dead pick up More in a short while!

Mr Lobster Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Moving swiftly along, R4 resting in Paros With Orange 2CV around the corner Just down the same street, a Corsa, not rare but quite straight... Mk1 Fezza keeping elderly Greek gentleman company Hotel had a very cool minibus. BM Yugo and 205 Tipo 3 series Alfa 75, these are still quite plentiful out there! Charade. Roofrack and matt black bonnet ftw! Elderly Toyota tin Nice R4 on sexy 5TS wheelz and again Dead 70's R4 was in a car park. Knew I should have taken a 10mm spanner - chrome wiper arms and door handles would have been nice for mine! R4 Safari with sunroof and finally...

CortinaDave Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Greek isles are great for tat spotting. I worry that the EU will soon stamp out all these old motors though when ever stricter MOT's come in over there.. do they actually have any kind of test at the moment?

mk2_craig Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Cor, some beauties there Fiesta looks like the ultra pov spec job - perfect.World's shonkiest towbar arrangement on the Transit and is that an early Seat Ibiza in the background of the Tipo shot?

michiel Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Charade and 1100 for me please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Congrats on the wedding, and excellent spotting. Brings back fond memories of our holiday in Crete last year- recall those pick-ups were everywhere. Going again in September, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 SIMCA LOVE Splendid! Quite taken by that orange 4 mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Simca is absolutely ace! Refresh my memory please, were they part of Renault or something, only it looks like one and I can't think what model?*Actually weren't they part of Talbot/Chrysler so more likely to have been Peugeot based?

Richard Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Peugeot didn't get involved until later, when they took over the whole sorry Chrysler Europe mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Shame about the 75's wheels too!Wonder what everyone uses roof racks for? Can't be for the skis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Nice car photos! :DBut did you spot and Greek Islands as per the thread title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Brilliant spots!They remind me of the kind of stuff I used to see on family holidays in the Balearics in the early 90s - it had all gone by the end of the decade though Great to see these sorts of motors still being used or at least surviving!R4's got to be my favourites though.

reallyloud Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Smashing selection, the GS and Simca does it for me, does make you think what exactly is hiding in these islands though. This: is a wonderful Datsun 1500 620 pick up. Any problems at all with snapping old tat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 does make you think what exactly is hiding in these islands though.Theres a lot of stuff out there. There was a lot I didn't photograph as basically I had driven past and couldn't be bothered turning the car around and going back or it was just a bit awkward to take pics of but the list includes Peugeot 404, Dacia Denem Estate, Ford Taunus / Cortina, Peugeot 104, Fiat Ritmo, Regatta, Seat Ibiza Mk1, Opel Ascona Mk1, Opel Kadett C plus a good amount of old Japanese stuffEven the mainland has a lot of tat lurking - we got the Metro from Athens airport to the port at Pireaus which runs through Athens and then its suburbs and there is a vast amount to be seen there, all in regular use and parked up on the roadside.Any problems at all with snapping old tat?No. I just try and not make it too obvious, avoid taking pics when theres too many people around and that sort of thing.
