They have to moove them somehow. Though it could be fresian in that hold at altitude.

They looked fantastic - they really bought the town I was in to an astonished standstill. The cars all looked properly well used and the owners throughly enjoying themselves. Crossing France in a car with little wind and weather protection required dedication!

No public transport option? Or mixing the modes - driving to a public transport option - and leaving the Princess somewhere safe? If there are public transport problems the other end - you could go for mixed-mode gold star - by putting a folding bike in the Princess and taking it on the public transport and using it the other end to get to your destination. Or variations on a theme. Or tried any of the car share apps? Running two cars will possibly not be cost effective? 1200+ commuting miles P/M is going to test any old banger and you don't want to be spending all your free time on maintenance - or indeed two cars that are a bit needy?

Dors.

Jayne Mansfield.

Dean.

Lawrence.

That car looks about as viable as his career...

Hitler?

Held up by one of those BMC ratchet supports or a junt a single gas strut... just waiting to come slamming down on the kid.

Change the H to an W and add an R at the end and you have...

That looks AI generated? What brand is that?

Bit of Morris Marina coupe there too...

It looks like one of those newspaper competitions to design a car - where the winner gets their design built for them. What can look alright on paper...

The purple car is a Sunbeam Sport launched in October 1966. By that point Imp sales were stalling and Rootes were badge engineering like mad to try and keep interest going. It's a shame what happened - if Rootes hadn't been rushed into launching the car early - and had dripped the 'halo' specialist performance versions onto the market first whilst they sorted the snags - the story could have been very different. Rare car that Sunbeam. That purple may be an original colour. https://www.imps4ever.info/misc/colours.html

Travelling through France I came across a bunch of British touring with what I can only describe as Chit-Chitty-Bang-Bang cars. There were about 20 together - I did not manage to snap them all as only some stopped. I did not have chance to speak to anybody - maybe someone here knows who the are? The cars certainly weren't simple restorations - more like variations on a vintage theme. Overall very impressive.

Looks like the people behind had just found a dead body in the camper?

Was also a popular spot with Standard/Triumph - they used it for various car adverts...

That's not AI - that's true. They were driving over to pick up Elvis who was living in a red double-deck bus on their way out of the studio to get a burger.

That's the film where Gollum doesn't bother about the ring he lost but goes to open a bar in Goa instead.

Q - I think your ejector-seat needs more work .

That's the title track to their film. "Catch Us If You Can" - a piece of 60's existential culture - directed by John Boorman. Not the kind of thing you expect a pop band of the era to make. Stars Yootha Joyce too. Up there with Michelanglo Antonioni's "Blow Up" as great 60's films. Worth a view.
