I’ll stand corrected if it’s had a re spray ( I am colour blind), but pretty sure that wasn’t on the colour chart. I had one just like that one.

iainrcz Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Definitely a metallic teal/turquoise. Never seen it around before. Mot check says blue. Though my blue 407 was apparently silver, so we won't take much notice of what that says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austat Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Here are some of my interesting spots from the RACV British & European Motoring Show 2022. To start things off, it was my first time seeing a GS Birotor in the flesh. LHD, imported from Denmark: It was in good company with a Peugeot 504 and a Lancia Flavia Berlina: There was not one but two Borgwards on display, one of them being this very pretty Isabella Coupe: Stag in AS colours, phwwoooaarrgghh... I was pleased to see this Ami again, I saw it a few years ago at an opening of a Citroën dealership in the western suburbs and was very eye catching due to its rarity. I got chatting with the owner, this Ami 8 has a particularly interesting story. It was bought in Paris in 1970 and shortly afterwards converted to RHD by Citroën, then imported to Australia in around 1971/1972 where it is one of two (maybe even three) Ami 8s in Australia. The current owner of this car has had it since 1983! I also saw this Triumph Mayflower Ute, I'm not sure if the ute was genuinely offered for the Australia market instead of a custom one off, but rather interesting regardless: There was a beige Marina, what more could you want (nice brown leather interior too): There was even a Vauxhall Cresta Friary Estate on display! A Wolseley-flavoured Landcrab was an interesting sight to see at the show, most likely a private import as only the plain Morris/Austin ADO17s were sold here. Another rare sight to see, a two-stroke Saab: And there was this delicious stock standard Esc-rot 1300 on display with the Fords: Finally, on my way leaving the show there was this lovely 240Z at the carpark in a very 70's shade of Wasabi green, complete with period correct original plates: Yoss, Steviemillar, mitsisigma01 and 7 others 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austat Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I took over 200 photos of the cars there, let me know if you want to see any brands that might of been there and I'll post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that the plates come back as two separate cars, and there are several visual differences between them (not just small details that could be additions/changes, the paint is different in places too), I think they may actually be two different cars! I wonder what the backstory is... Anyone here understand Polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the backstory is... Anyone here understand Polish? Yes, basically the guy with the hat is a nutter and makes all sorts of crazy stuff. He made some sort of mental powered bike (?) powered Fiat 126p years ago that was popular on YouTube and now lives over here. It's been a while since I've seen the video though.
