Some old stuff from around Malmo

Super rare Alfasud. Looked good from a very long distance but even the tyres were rusty


Mini with, no doubt, highly effective headlight wipers


800s in Coupe and Saloon style


Mmmmm..primrose yellow


Vauxhalls. Some roadworthy, but mostly not.


SDI with escape craft


GS outside pub


A Princess!


Unmolested two door Escort. The last one in the world


More later

When I was down in Gran Canaria in Janurary this year, I came across this Saab still on Swedish plates!

Wiper porn!

 

Thanks to The Bridge I learned that Malmo is one of the most satisfying place names to pronounce.

Were headlight wipers a legal requirement in Sweden in the '70s then?

[stormee]

Were headlight wipers a legal requirement in Sweden in the '70s then?

Yes. From 1972 - sometime in the 90s.

[UmBongo]

A velly nice GS there, velly nice indeed.

[BorniteIdentity]

First Mini I've seen since Nineteen Eleventy Once that I've actually looked at and loved.

 

Lovely snaps.

[Skizzer]

Skön!

 

Top spots.  I follow Car Spotting Sweden on Flickr, which makes it look as though Sweden is chod heaven, although it's probably as hard to find the really good stuff as anywhere else.  More please

Those Mini headlamp wipers look flippin' useless - Love it!

[Uncle Jimmy]

Sweden is GR8.

Not as useless as the Chevette's, there's nowhere for its wipers to wipe the snow to.

^ PA Cresta.  Well... a corner of one...

[Noel Tidybeard]

i now want an allegro with headight wipers

[fordnut]

If you are in Malmo you need to visit the classic car sales pitch that is run by old boy and has high turnover of budget classics and restoration projects. It is chod heaven out there.

 

I noticed that you photo'd my friends wedge in his yard it is a bit of a tourist magnet.

[fordnut]

Steve and the team work on a lot of British classics from the surrounding area. The Marina coupe is one of many projects, I am sure there will be progress over the winter when the main workshop is less busy.

 

Bilmarknaden - glad you mentioned the name, as I've been looking to see if the 2dr Granada pictured is still for sale. I expect its already sold. Are these recent pictures. I am looking for a 2dr but the decent ones that have come up have been to far North to make it viable to send someone with a transporter.

[fordnut]

I know all about the Brown one and it was there when I was over in May. I will ask him if he still has it. He was intending to re-commission it but a better project came up. I'd certainly consider as an option.

[Skizzer]

That Renault 15 is sexual.

[skattrd]

A few more.....

 

Pretty green

What is this little froggy green thing?

[dollywobbler]

This is a headlampwipertastic thread and I fully approve. Visited Sweden some seven years ago and oddly, ended up at an American car meet.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Best headlamp wiper evah.

 

Was this the earliest design for them?

[Uncle Jimmy]

Pondering Swedishness has reminded me of these, want.

[scruff]

Fabtabulous thread!! Keep them coming

[Skizzer]

Still loving this thread!

 

Consul Capri and 315 (not a Consul Classic abroad for some reason)

The 2-door coupe ones with the conventionally sloping rear window and the frameless doors (like the white one) are Consul Capris - the Consul Classic has the backward sloping rear window and is less sleek.

 

Edit - sorry, I've just realised that's not what you meant.  My mistake.  As you were.

[danthecapriman]

Love the yanks, some of them are a bit battered though! Still great to see such rough old things running around. Over here they'd of been on the banger racing track years ago.

 

That scrapyard is amazing. Given the climate and the overgrown forest nature of where they are they don't actually look all that bad, rust wise. I'd have expected them to be dissolving and breaking apart by now if they'd been sat there as long as they have.

 

Brilliant!

[DSdriver]

Excellent thread, the Corsair in the close-up looks in better condition now than mine did in 1970.

[Lacquer Peel]

I want to claim asylum in Sweden. Fucking great!

[worldofceri]

A Spanish MG Maestro in Sweden?  Sounds implausible.

 

Brilliant spots every one.

[Alexg]

This thread is brilliant! Keep it up

[ShiteRider]

Loving this thread!
