Rattenberg, Tyrol. It's famous* for being Austria's smallest town.

 

 

 

A Studebaker at the Col du Bonhomme.

 

 

 

Is this a Devon in Devon?

 

 

 

Stuttgart oddly void of Mercedesessers and Porscherers.

 

 

Isabella in Cairo.

 

[mercrocker]

Devon be a Dorset, zee....Got 2 doors inn'um? 

 

 

Actually quite a rarity in the UK, most were exported.   Hence the equestrian interest.

[Junkman]

Ah, because it only has one door set?

[chaseracer]

The Rattenburg A40 Farina: Longbridge not Innocenti, going by the bootlid hardware, despite Milan being considerably closer to Austria.

[chaseracer]

And that French snapper liked his 504 convertible, didn't he!

EFTA = no 33% import duty.

What's the dark convertible at the lower right? Alfa 6C?

And the Shooting Brake behind the DKW?

Gonna go out on a limb and say the shooting break is an Eucort Rural.

Monaro GTS attracting kid's attention somewhere in Asia:

 

[mercrocker]

Suitably shite (and suitably local) movie running at the Cinerama, there....

[Junkman]

Isn't it just?

[MorrisItalSLX]

Monaro GTS attracting kid's attention somewhere in Asia:

 

By Asia I hope you mean Australia, that the town of Ayr in Northern Queensland.

 

And that’s a HQ Monaro GTS, shame it’s a 4 door...

[Junkman]

Krems an der Donau.
 

 
 
Of course you can't park there anymore:
 

 

 

 

Meanwhile in England:

 

 

 

And over by the stoned ones:

 

[sheffcortinacentre]

How did anyone know what to do in Morecambe that road has no islands,bollards,white lines,hatched areas,speed bumps,etc.

[mercrocker]

It was much safer back then -  a policeman is making pedestrians go and sit on the wall until they learn to cross the road properly.   Everything else just gets stuck behind a bus.

[pshome]

Remember Rotel Tours, they would drive you everywhere in a coffin.

The days when CXs and Landcrabs were everyday street furniture and 2dr Mk1 Escorts weren't worth ludicrous amounts of money:

Is that a DAF panel van on the last card? I remember the cars being sold here but don't recall any vans.

[mercrocker]

Yes, DAF 33 van in one of its two (or maybe three) colours - all the ones I have seen were that dark blue.   My school chum's old man had one - we used to bounce around in the back of it on Rabbit Club outings (don't ask - its nothing to do with the Playboy Club!)
