Shite Bulgaria Style - Now with added Pt 2

January 27, 2010

I thought I would share my best autoshite spots from a couple of holidays to Bulgaria.

This place has some top quality shite spotting possibilities mostly of an 80s/90s GM VW vintage with a fair smattering of older Ladas and Skodas. There are however a few more interesting spots of which I have selected the best below......

Incidentally I think it was around this time my future wife to be realised I had a strange fetish for autoshite. To be fair to her though she got into it after a while.

You see a fair amount of abandoned shite, this was in the capital Sofia.

To continue the lada theme, untapped potential. Unfotunate mirrors and bonnet.

Not certain which model of Merc this is

More mundane shite but this was minty fresh swinger.

This was pretty tidy too, lots of Passats about, mostly of this vintage.

Moving on to more interesting shite.

What Pug is this? Nice shade of green in the background too.

305?

Is this a borgward or Skoda?

Lots of these about still

Now in my eyes shite doesnt get much better than this. Quite a few in Bulgaria but not as many as in Romania where there are thousands. Incidentally we saw more of these broken down in Romania than any other breakdowns across the whole of Europe

4*4 Goodness, pretty tidy too.

Iz for coolin innit.

One for Fred, camping is pretty big in BG and there are some truly shite campers. However this is a honey.

This not quite so

Oh yes!

Nice Alfa, I know not which

Cool Subaru, again my knowledge is lacking. Brown too cor!

One of my faves, a two tone brown TERCEL! *and breathe*

My 2nd fave

Finally whats under the tarp?

Hope you enjoy. Lots more shite spots from Europe coming soon.[/i]

Nope, defo not. Far too small, and the wrong shape. Looks more European to me- Simca?

Nice spottage! The Passat is actually a Santana, No relation to the multi Grammy award winning singer though...........Unlike the VW Polo Genesis which was related to the multi Grammy award winning estate agent rock band of the same name.

Nice Alfa, I know not which

It's an Alfa 6 !!! Great find, keeping in mind how rust-prone and commercially unsuccessful they were !!!

Nice Alfa, I know not which

OMG ALFA 6

Not seen one with square lamps before...

I actually prefer the Merc camper to the Trannie myself...

Alfasud Sprint my pick here though.

Quite a few of those Subaru 1600DL (?) 's in Malta still

Top notch pics, keep em coming!

Great spots, Alfa 6 is my fave, although I do like seeing spots of the Dacias too. Each one seems tattier than the next!

Absolute holy grail of Euro-barges for me. I'm almost obsessed by them.

EDIT - not almost obssessed. Just obssessed.

Prefered the earlier ones with the double round headlights, which gave them the appearance of a BMW 7 series from the front.

305?

Speaking of Grammy-award winners and VWs, Pink Floyd edition Mk3 Golf there too...

Great spots! Love that Alfa 6!

+1 on the great spotting skills there, for me the best is that Subaru, god I love them. But I think Mr H loves the alfa 6 just a tad more.....

I have a very sppecial love for the Alfa 6. Not in a weird way, obviously

2.5k · January 28, 2010

Have we ever had an Alfa 6 spot on this forum before? I bet there has been, but its definitely top league shite spotting.

Not sure if we have you know

That CPTC is really bugging me, seems so familiar and yet....the exhaust appears to exit through the bumper which must narrow it down a bit, there aren't that many cars with that feature.where's Michiel?

4.1k · January 28, 2010

At work. Afraid I don't know... too narrow to be a yank, I thought maybe something like this Opel, but 'customised'?

Ok after embarassing myself yesterday with a few school boy errors (Wartburg in particular) I will leave the naming to the more expert members of the board (i.e everyone else)

Rear end of the Alfa, didnt realise it would be so popular although it did have prescence.
