What on earth is that Fiesta Van about? Looks hilarious!Good ones there VWP! That R21 is bufff stufff.

[VWPowered]

[Mr Lobster]

Mk1 R5, Tipo

 

 

Highlight for me is this though

 

[trigger]

Never seen a Fiesta with a body like that! I'd love to have one of those over here.

[pogweasel]

That orangina-flavour R6 is superb!

[j-j]

[barrett]

Absolutely LOVE that Lancia

I'll second that. The 404 is my pick of the bunch though, they look so great in that colour.

[michiel]

J'aime la quatr' zéro quatre...

[VWPowered]

thought i'd share this...

 

basically a chap mets another with a passion for tanks but stumbles on all these Dacia's in canada... mental

 

Incroyable, j'ai trouvé ces photos sur le profil facebooke d'un jeune amateur de chars que j'ai rencontré par hasard car il trippais sur mon Mercury Station !!!

 

Une coure bin pleine de chars français

 

une 15 aine de R12 qui pourtant n'a pas été vendu en amerique du nord mais reblasé DACIA, probablement une pâle tentative d'importation par la firme qui à tourné au vinaigre

 

il y as des peugeot 304 et 504 , toutes sont des versions export que j'ai jamais vu avec des calandres inconnues et reblasé sous d'autres marques

 

Pour l'instant la neige empêche d'y accéder mais dès le printemps j'irais voir par moi même et faire un reportage spécial Retro02 !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

étonnant non?

[michiel]

Quality over quantity!

as always off to the aude for a interview the weekend, already planned afew château ruins to visit on route

[VWPowered]

todays update

 

spent a little while trying to find out information regarding a small chateau near where we live, even the locals were tight lipped, so thought i'd just go and investigate, the stairs were ready to drop, the roof like a sieve not good times for this little known chateau in the charente

 

 

the above photos are from 1975 which show it not mint but still visable..

 

 

more photos here

as promised went back the breakers up the road (wet day nothing to do)

 

he's a microcar specialist now retired but still tinkers, wouldnt let me take pics in the barn but the whole upstairs was a shrine to bubble cars downstairs a huge log fire burns whilst you check out more bubbles and a Gold Cadillac in the corner..

 

very nice chap

 

 

many more pics here - http://www.franco-oldtimers.com/zenphoto/Scrap %26 Classics/Barbe et Fils

oops forgot the only car i bothered with today

[michiel]

Excellent, I like that chateau - library intact! Those Taunuses are growing on me, my dad had a 15M when he worked for the union in the 60s.

[VWPowered]

today i had the pleasure of working on a TR7, someone had cut all the wires and re-installed then wrong, nice, anyway after an hour it starts, this thing was immaculate and has sold...

 

Austin Seven is up for sale too

 

[VWPowered]

just been sent this of the chateau de la chauffie dating from around 1900

 

[michiel]

I'd love something like a Seven somewhere in the future, but I'm afraid I'll never have the money for it...

[VWPowered]
