Pre Covid certainly not. Being British and brought up with Remembrance day on 11th November I was stuck at just how the Dutch had all ages involved. From the veterans of the Allied armies right down to young school children. I was very moved when I first saw this.

 

This is very nice to see. Too bad it's not like this here especially the younger generations here do not care.

When it comes to lusting over old cars, a just pre war Merc is top of my list. They just oouuze quality.

Mind you when I first saw this post I thought it was Himmler stood by the car.

They are great cars the big negative ting for me is the Nazi link they have which is not so good.

RIP Dennis Waterman, one of my TV heroes as a kid. 

Loved watching the old Flying Squad when I was younger with my Dad, great memories those. Dad fondly remembers seeing the series back in the 70's on Thames, a great bit of nostalgia for him as my Grandad had a Ford Consul when it first aired.

Absolutely gutted to hear the news today.

The wings didn't last a year in the UK , I would imagine the boat journey alone would have had the tin worm breeding like mad

I don’t think they salt the roads in Finland, probably lasted longer than in the UK.

And in much of Finland winters are cold and dry which helps with rust.

Yes too cold for salt to be any use on the roads.

Newest cars I can spot are a Ford 100E or Phase 2 Vanguard which would make that 1954 or just after. 

Pre-MoT days when a lot of really old cars hung on Post-War.

What's going on with the car on the right?  It seems to have only one headlight, really low down.
