Dutch spots - UK spots actually this time...

[michiel]

I should have crossed the road for a better shot but lunch breaks are finite...

 

 

 

(Bonus oldish Landcruiser at our botanical garden)

 

This Voyager has been lowered so much the exhaust is scraping the floor...

 

 

Weeks of bird crap & parking tickets, I wonder when they will take it away...

[michiel]

It's a spaceship!

 

 

Old Batavus moped:

 

 

1966 Mustang:

 

 

1974 Méhari:

 

 

And a 1979 Fiat 900T still/again working as a builders' van:

 

 

[Minimad5]

that Méhari is fegging cool, i want one !

[VWPowered]

liking that 900 very cool and must be rare now

[michiel]

Méharis go for stupid money here, easily up to 10K euro...

 

Wouldn't be surprised if that 900T was one of less than 5 still alive, wonder how much longer it will be around, didn't look too good

[michiel]

Haven't seen too much lately thatI hadn't seen before... but here's a few new pics:

 

1973 Buick Century

 

 

1992 Honda CRX, MOT ran out over a year ago... filthy as hell and ugly as sin

 

 

 

Bulgarian Seat Terra, judging by the NL sticker it used to be Dutch

 

 

 

Cute 1972 Fiat 600L

 

 

 

Nice threespoked Twingo

 

 

1976 Transporter

 

 

 

1982 Citroën 2CV6

 

 

1969 Opel Kadett LS

 

 

[fotorabia]

pain..all these old Opel images on this are causing me post Europe sadness..how i walked away from my fave marque cos none none none in NZ..cool spots Michiel..

[michiel]

Sorry & thanks.

 

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw another Transporter with ..-MN-.. plates yesterday, sadly no pic.

[VWPowered]

those wheels on that twingo are funky

[eddyramrod]

Count me in for that Kojak Buick, it's just right! I had a later Century but they're not as cool as these.

(Here it is with my Daimler, in case you missed it wherever else I posted it...)

[trigger]

Mans car I wonder if he notices if his nice chrome wipers went missing?...

[michiel]

This HY used to be green

 

 

1973 B

 

 

1971 Sedan De Ville

 

 

Using the whole space + the sidewalk...

 

[trigger]

^ Crikey, That's nearly as long as the street is wide!

[michiel]

Must be fun when you turn a corner to see how many pedestrians/cyclists you can hit with the tail...

[michiel]

Not a Déesse but an Idée (1966 ID19) with a bonnet logo that somehow rings a tiny bell:

 

[michiel]

Nice sunny day today so I took a long walk. Spotted a 1979 245 GLE:

 

 

 

A 1970 Rekord 1900L:

 

 

 

Then in the distance I saw something that was either a weird Beetle/2CV-based kit car or something Very Cool... better take a closer look then:

 

 

 

F*ck me! According to the badge (official Italian CSAI badge) it's a 1947 Fiat 1100 Sport. Made me grin for the rest of the day! Dunno if it actually has done a Mille Miglia though...

[michiel]

The colours of the Seventies... 1976 DAF 46:

 

 

1977 Saab 96:

 

 

 

And a 1975 Fiat 850T Bertone?! Made me smile and frown at the same time... a prototype or not? Funky wheels:

 

 

 

 

Hey look, I finally got a picture of me...

 

[Station]

That 850 is rather nice, is it a concept?

[Albert Ross]

Might it be based on this?

[michiel]

I haven't got a clue actually, parked in a garage on a ramp (no current MOT)... tried to find out a bit but all I get so far are links about the Bertone 850 Racer.

[michiel]

Wait, what do we see here? More here: http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1975_fiat_visitors_bus/

 

 

'Based on a standard Fiat 850T Minivan, Bertone designed a low production model,

specially built for transporting people at the Fiat factory.'

[seth]

Thats pretty funky and looks very well finished for what might be a concept/one off? Look at all that chrome trim round the inside of the doors!

[Vin]

That Bert One is pretty funky.

 

As far as I know they weren't a one off, but then I think they only made maybe a dozen or so. Airport transport for a special event rings a bell but I'm not sure.

 

I'll have a look in some of my books, as the many Italian coach-builders and design houses were churning out hundreds of variations on the 600/850/900T commercial chassis, during the Sixties & Seventies.

[michiel]

Some sad shite spots, 1971 DS:

 

 

 

1969 Amazon:

 

 

 

Bee'le:

 

 

Not so sad 504 from 1975:

 

 

 

Nice British Mini:

 

 

[seth]

Oh, that mini would have been so much nicer on its original narrow 10s... Amazon doesn't actually look too bad? Sill looks solid enough.

[michiel]

DS and Amazon both had plenty of MOT, but looked neglected.

[michiel]

It's been a while... and all I've got is this 1970 whale:
