3.0S Cortina is sold, so I'll have to find something else to spend my Euromillions on tomorrow

Always pleases me that there are classics just parked on the street in London. Well the nicer parts anyway - almost makes up for having to drive around the poxy place

These used to be everywhere with cackling hens hanging out of them. Often white or even pink, wonder if there's much call for a stretched 300C these days?

Managed to get a dashcam pic of the other Starsky and Hutch inspired ride around here - not seen it with the 107 though

Not much new in the classic car dealership

Popped upstairs which I rarely do. Mostly Jap stuff that I don't find interesting but I thought some might like this

Not vintage

Merc is 15 years older than that POS above

These two are on site at the old Truman Brewery site near Brick Lane. Not sure if the GT6 counts as abandoned as it's "art"

Saw this 9000 outside an Asda

20221003_153434.thumb.jpg.dfeae32103badcd32fd08fe7fc63e4a9.jpg

Thankfully not parked to near this Micra - do we think this old biddy might not be the greatest driver? 

20221003_153509.jpg

20221003_153501.jpg

Oh and this. There were loads of classics on the M40 - going to Bicester maybe?

On work missions, came out of my B+B this morning and spotted this garage

And a Lupo!

On a flying visit to Berlin - there's an amazing amount of 20+ year old cars everywhere, and a few a bit older...

These are in reverse order, I apologies for the terrible quality of this one but it was out of the van window in the dark

20221021_19290620221021_175518

Plenty of these about

20221021_171156

Pre-Sprinter Merc vans (sorry, terrible with correct MB numbers) are still in use both for official duties, working for a living or as campers

20221021_14264620221021_14330720221021_14324820221021_14341520221021_16394320221021_16363520221021_16153120221021_154818

These next two were in a shopping centre, a bit of an oddity - police Beetle appeared to be a Sparkafer with no chrome trim etc - but has a steel sunroof

Wartburg

Pleasingly, my wanderings took me here

20221021_15475520221021_15483520221021_15485720221021_15484320221021_15491020221021_15493320221021_15491520221021_15500820221021_15503920221021_15502220221021_15510720221021_15514120221021_15520220221021_16103220221021_16112520221021_16104920221021_16112920221021_16114120221021_16114920221021_161159

As luck would have it, they were doing a tour too

Terrible picture of mid 60's Beetle inside the Checkpoint Charlie Museum - used to smuggle people across the border - where the hell you hide someone in a Beetle I'm not sure

20221021_153138

There are endless colourful Twingos buzzing about

20221021_14552420221021_152645

 

As well as many older vehicles

20221021_15134820221021_15090520221021_15094520221021_15061420221021_14444820221021_143859

There are so many Lupos and Arosas! Must have seen 25 today including a 3L and an Open Air

20221021_13455420221021_14041620221021_14335220221021_14360320221021_14354820221021_14372520221021_14365320221021_14392220221021_143759

Lots of Dacias about

20221021_14351520221021_14305820221021_14324520221021_14300420221021_14044220221021_14024320221021_13554120221021_13485120221021_13484520221021_13473520221021_12361820221021_122411

Shite pic of a hearse

20221021_10230120221021_08165720221021_080640

For every one I managed to snap, two or three I missed including a poor yellow Lupo buried under a pile of leaves

That 1275GT is making me dribble👅

I had one back in the 70's. It did go well and handled rather well too. Had a 1300 before that but, unfortunately, not the GT.
