Greek Island Spotting

[Mr Lobster]

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!

[michiel]

That GSA pic is very nice!

[Volksy]

Its an earlier GS, so even rarer!

[Guest greenvanman]

Maximum respect for spotting on your honeymoon - start as you mean to go on

[Mr Lobster]

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...

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?

[Guest greenvanman]

Loving the orange R4 and Transit bus. Great spots!

Judging from some of the stuff on the roads over there I very much doubt it!

 

Another of the Transit bus -

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]

Charade and 1100 for me please...

[55bloke]

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!

SIMCA LOVE Splendid! Quite taken by that orange 4 mind.

[Cavcraft]

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]

Peugeot didn't get involved until later, when they took over the whole sorry Chrysler Europe mess.

[pompei]

Shame about the 75's wheels too!Wonder what everyone uses roof racks for? Can't be for the skis?

[seth]

Nice car photos! :DBut did you spot and Greek Islands as per the thread title?

[Split_Pin]

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]

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?

[Mr Lobster]

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.
