262C, So ugly that I would like to own one

Disappointingly (for me) this prototype was the only Baur cabriolet on show.

I skipped TC once again this year. 25€ person/day entry is just ridiculous.

How dare you, I think they look quite sleek and stylish, well, at least when compared to other Volvos of the era.

 

Nice pics, thx for sharing.

Bacon slicers are always a win at car shows.

Err... Good question, the white one was a Pininfarina confection (I think), the blue one is in the mystery car file...

[Tayne]

The blue BMW in the picture is an e12 5 Series and the white one is a 3200CS.

Is that an actual fight between those two bald blokes called Cokrat and Hipster? That's what it looks like.

[Lukas]

And not one japanese car on show, except the Land Cruisers from buschtaxi.net?

[Junkman]

Japanese cars? In Germany????

[Lukas]

     

[Lukas]

But buschtaxi.net is doing their best to bring the Toyota LandCruiser into the heads of the classic car guys.

Did anybody else look at the photo number and assume the display was a sectioned Volvo?

[holbeck]

Thought it was time for a revisit. 

The show had a bit of an end of term feeling.  The organisers have apparently thrown in the towel.

Is that it, the last one? Or just feels like it? I drove over to it in 2018 and always thought about going back, once I've been to Retromobile. Was in Paris when Retromobile was on last year but it was for the other half's birthday so wasn't really on the cards! Always going to fall on her birthday weekend so perhaps I need to replace her. 🤔

I honestly don't know.  For the current organisers, it's  the last one.

But I spoke to a random Danish guy in the bar and he suggested that others are in the wings to organise something for next year.

I went last year and loved it, I don’t think it will be allowed to die.
