80's cars have mostly faded by now, unfortunately. 

 

90's cars are still plentiful though... When i can get some progress on my Aldi i might start a thread on it

I drove to Portugal for a holiday in 2019 and hope to drive there again, it is a lovely country. I was hoping to see lots of great cars and did see a Granada mk2 in a compound soon after crossing the border from Spain. Unfortunately after that there was not the volume of great cars I had hoped to see, although Mercedes 190’s and Renault 4’s seemed popular which was nice to see.

Me, a Benfica fan, had never heard a piano rendition of the anthem before actually!

Cheers fellow Shiters.

 

Can someone set my doubt straight here?

Is this an MG Express, or just a conversion made on a standard ZR when it hit Portuguese floor, taking into account hatchback derived vans are very popular here? It could be an express but the glass rear windows and the ZR badge is confusing me a bit

If you've ever heard of vinheteiro she appears on his videos he's worth a watch also

Odd she picked only that and Brazil national anthem as all the other of those were Brazilian teams

I'd say it's an ordinary ZR converted into a van.  The vans don't seem to have ZR badges and it's missing the window panels. Partition looks fairly homemade as well.

Oh, probably done by the dealership then. 

Car based vans were insanely popular, often in "hot diseasel hatch" variety, as those went like the clappers, were economical and had low tax being vans

Should be the plate over the side window replacing the glass

That looks homemade

Some of the fine shite I found recently.

 

A very good looking W123. These were all over the place as second hand imports. Well, not anymore. We owned one for a brief while. I still miss it 

 

This 305 is a car that I'm willing to bet it's still q daily driver. It was parked in front of a workshop that's specialized in PSA. The owner always keeps inside a beautiful DS and a GS.

 

Another car that was everywhere, and now is as rare as hen's teeth

interesting beetle too

Oh fucking hell i can't believe i let this thread die.

But anyway, here's a Triumph Acclaim i spotted 2 weeks ago. Rust free and the paint seemed decent
