puddlethumper Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Some spots from a Dutchland tractor show. The Dat was in front me going in to the car park so I had a quick chat. One owner, 70k but not as good as the photos suggest. Still, good to see. The yank tank was shonky with dents, dings and rust. The 205 was nearly mint but a daily none the less.

puddlethumper Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 And then there were these. A Simca ice cream pickup. Had a chat with the lady that was doing the selling and her father bought it new and made it as it is now. All original except for the ice cream bit, obvs. Lovely, eh? And an Wartburg. Didn't realise there was a Wartburg scene. I think the owner might be trying to start one. mercrocker, HillmanImp, Yoss and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Felicia Pacific with Fun alloys. Very colourful. Well, three alloys anyway. The Pacific was a special edition with bright blue seats and door trims but they've taken it one stage further here and painted the dashboard blue to match. Rather more tasteful (though I'd rather have the Felicia). BL Bloke, mercrocker, worldofceri and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on big 6es, that 3-Litre further back in the thread was making me a little uneasy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Pretty sure the 3-litre was safe after a chat with the owner. I might go back and knock on the door regarding the Oxford, quite apart from it being a reasonable looking and locally registered example I've never seen one registered as late as that before. Less than half a mile from where I took that picture there's a one-family from new 16/60 that's been sitting in the open for at least fifteen years. They've no interest in it or in selling it.

Zelandeth Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Parked up in the campsite next to a bit of a rolling stereotype. Lowered suspension: Check. Banded wheels: Check. Rattle can paint: Check. Bonnet muff: Check. "Sports" steering wheel: Check. Sure the owners are lovely people, but the degree to which modifications on VW vans can be predicted still makes me roll my eyes a little.

Roobarb Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 These were in the corner of a local lock-up I just visited. I was chasing a 1971 Karmann Ghia Coupe (that was actually a 1969) with just under 30k on the clock, two owner, no rust car. Obviously, it was gone by the time I got there. ? worldofceri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it's got much of a future though MoT is up soon, but no mention of rust in the last couple. Where did you see it? Note under the wiper (with my number on!) if you think its future is uncertain.

davocano Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Interesting to see that Cavalier up in Norfolk, it lives (or perhaps used to live) not far away from me. The guy paid £650 for it in 2014 and was his third Cavalier in a row so obvs a fan of 'em. EDIT: Just had a quick look at the auctioneers website, they don't appear to sell motors. Maybe it's up there on holiday. RobT and Amishtat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
