Greek Chod Spotting

[Schaefft]

Only been here a day and can already tell that it's going to be a long post so I thought I might as well start a separate thread.

Starting with the obligatory base model E36 316i Compact and W123 Merc, plus the common as muck Fiat city cars. Plenty of E36 still all over the place, the Merc might have been a taxi in it's previous life? Our taxi from the airport was a relatively new E-Class with over 800k km on the clock btw, you would never be able to tell!

A few steps further things are already getting spicy! Audi C2 100 casually parked on the street!

[Schaefft]

A few steps further and we got another clean Sport E36 (and appropriate work truck) and this absolute beauty.

[Schaefft]

Just around the corner from above, an Alfa Romeo 33 still in daily use. Nice to see the Pajero as well, probably has been a rental car just around the same time I was visiting Greece the last time. When I was 6 years old!

[Schaefft]

Two cars further down, another epic find. I doubt this is in daily use anymore, at the same time it doesn't seem like anything ever gets removed from the streets either. Hilarious to see that even in this climate a classic Ford isn't safe from dissolving into a pile of rust.

[Schaefft]

I'm looking forward to seeing more Corsa saloons!

[Schaefft]

The C3 was another excellent find, so was the Lancia. Still plenty of Alfas everywhere as well.

[Schaefft]

White looks good on the 156. The usual W201, booted Corollas of all generations.

[Schaefft]

And then there was this! 1.9 205 GTI looked great.

Top spotting already!  You can guess which one grabbed me hardest, lol... is that a Rover 75 in the background of the rear-shot?

Also, that Capri has stories to tell: facelift rear lights but a pre-facelift front?

[Schaefft]

Abandoned UK E65, Herbie and Micro Redwood show.

[Schaefft]

Absolutely loved finding a Sunny and Corolla Sedan of this generation! All of these are just a few steps apart.

[Schaefft]

Civic and a freaking Visa with roof rack, probably still someone's daily!

[Schaefft]

Pussy magnet BMW. That's it for the first day, more later today!

[eddyramrod]

It's a proper Autoshite holiday, isn't it!

I used to drive a Merc truck like the blue one further up; it was primitive at best.

Bonus photo!

More spots from today. First R8 I've seen.

Many classic beetles to be found. Loved the wheel trims on the ZX.

[Schaefft]

First Lancia Delta I've seen, loving it. 323Fs are another very welcome spot, such a good looking car.

[Schaefft]

Some incredibly clean E36 still around. As most cars here these are mostly base model 316i and 318i.

[Schaefft]

Plenty of E30s still around as well. Loving the color of this one. Also Corsa B, not surprising though.

[Schaefft]

Another incredible spot, someone educate me what Suzuki this is!

[eddyramrod]

Suzuki Alto, probably about 30 years old now.

[Schaefft]

Elantra and B3 Passat. Surprisingly few VW of this era around.

[Schaefft]

More Japanese goodness and a Xsara VTS coupe.

[Schaefft]

Awesome Vitara and typical bmw enthusiast group pos e36.

[Schaefft]

Another of many early 90s ST180 Celicas. My Corona EXiV is based on them.

Also doesn't this gen Civic hatch look absolutely incredible in even this state? Would buy and restore, I want one badly now.

Also another super clean E36.

[Schaefft]

Properly rough 323F and the first 405 I've seen.

[Schaefft]

White Lancias like this Dedra are still the epitome of the Mediterranean street scene to me. I love seeing these still surviving here in decent numbers.

Also 607, maybe I'll try one some day.
