Jerzy Woking Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Got up this morning and it was cloudy and raining, but I set off on the 12 minute drive to Dolores for the classic car show there. Was free to enter, but the first 200 who paid €5 received a t-shirt, a voucher for half a loaf filled with cheese and freshly sliced ham, and two vouchers for drinks (beer or canned pop). And the sight of a couple of young ladies twerking on the stage to some banging toons (no photos!). Firstly, there was some great shite there:Three door Sierra 2.0i with an array of 80's shelf speakers. Didn't we just het the 1.3 and 1.6 in the UK? Renault 25 of the V6 variety. Renault 5 for sale, loaded with about 10 cans of wob. Less wob, more shine. Pretty original 5 Turbo (driven by very pretty girl). Another 5? I've cannot recall seeing one like this before. Is it a 5? Or not a 5? Other random stuff (including a fair sprinkling of French). And some Spanish (One with German assistance). I fell for these two: Sad to see pineappling is spreading: Even on bikes! Lots of other nice stuff there-Seat 600's, Capri's, a few Renault 4's, a few more 2CV's, a few Yanks Plenty more there-a Sherpa GT, MGA's, W123's, W124's, and half a dozen driftyo BMW E30's. Another show next week, just a few miles north of here, which, if the weather forecast is good, will get more cars and bikes. Worth a 12 minute drive and two hours looking around. strangeangel, wuvvum, stonedagain and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeangel Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Some cracking spots there, cheers for sharing them. Thank you-there was never anyone around the car to ask. And you have confirmed that I have never seen or heard of one before. I remember those from childhood holidays on Spain, but the ones I saw were always badged 'Siete' as opposed to the numeral, like most other Renaults of the day. What was the asking on the wobbed R5?

adw1977 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Three door Sierra 2.0i with an array of 80's shelf speakers. Didn't we just het the 1.3 and 1.6 in the UK? Three door (non-sporting) Sierras in the UK came in 1.3 base, 1.6 base and 1.6 L - and don't forget the 2.3 diesel (base and L).Only for the 1984 model year.

Jerzy Woking Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 No badge of any kind on the back of the Renault 7, but glad that people here knew what it was. There was also this, which I presume is a kit car: I hope someone will be able to tell me at least what the body is, if not the mechanical.

Jerzy Woking Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Some cracking spots there, cheers for sharing them. I remember those from cdhood holidays on Spain, but the ones I saw were always badged 'Siete' as opposed to the numeral, like most other Renaults of the day. What was the asking on the wobbed R5? No price on th R5, or any of the few cars there that were for sale. Should have got some more photos, as the off side (or is it near side here?) rear quarter and door boot om looked to be all wob, as was much of the sill I suspect.

Remspoor Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 There is always one to prove me wrong this time by a de-badged R7 the no price advertising is typical of the country. Adverts can also lack details like KMs, trim level, age or even simple misspelling of the make or model. It is funny and at the same time frustrating.

Supernaut Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I seem to remember Panhard65 has (or had) a Renault 7 he took back from Spain. It's in a fetching shade of pale green. Nice spots, looks like a great show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRocker Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Three door Sierra 2.0i with an array of 80's shelf speakers. Didn't we just het the 1.3 and 1.6 in the UK? Just the earlier version too, never the facelifted version. I remember being in Majorca in 1989 seeing these 3 door Sierras and feeling sad that they weren't sold in the UK.

It is funny and at the same time frustrating.I often used to stop when I saw an interesting (to me) car for sale on the side of a road. And totally agree with the no price or any proper details concerning the car. A couple of times I've seen cars parked nowhere near a house or by flats with no contact number or address. It was an excellent show, not that many cars, but each one was of interest. Looking forward to the next show on Sunday. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yesterday I went to what I thought would be a good car show near me. It turned out to be very poorly attended, even though the town was very busy. I had seen all of the dozen or so cars here last week, except these two: Disappointment was somewhat curtailed with a beer and a small plate of paella I really must start looking for some shite (or interesting) cars-not seen too many to be honest, unless I'm going everywhere with my eyes closed.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 That swoopy-winged kit car is a Beetle-based 'Madison', sold in the UK by GP sports cars back in the day. Wonder what its story is there? I can't see the tapas munchers being much into kit car building. Jerzy Woking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
