Greek Chod Spotting

[Schaefft]

Another 146, definitely more popular than the 145 here.

Plenty of abandoned old work horses around as well.

[Schaefft]

This was a pretty good spot. I'm sure someone on here can put it somewhere on the Escort desirability scale. Pretty neat up naturally.

[Schaefft]

One of the many 80s Corollas still around, same with the K11 Micra. And another beat up 106 Rallye, this time on Naxos.

[Schaefft]

This Opel Rekord was certainly a surprise find. The Orion was completely rust free despite the island setting. Also another 323 Familia.

[Schaefft]

More Naxos town shite. The Lada Niva is not a unique variation, I've seen another one with the same bodykit.

[Schaefft]

Very clean W201 in the best spec, and this blue beauty.

[Schaefft]

Abandoned ex-taxi B3, Check out the mileage on it!

[Schaefft]

Abandoned old garage with some proper 80s shite rotting outside. Not much of interest inside.

[Schaefft]

Datsun pickup probably blew a head gasket at some point.

Strangely few Twingos around.

W124 and Steyr built fire truck. Replaced by an Iveco, Not sure if that was a smart choice.

[Schaefft]

More random shite.

[Schaefft]

This R4 was pretty interesting however. Also Soviet era 4x4?

[Schaefft]

Glorious Civic sedan and it's contemporary Opel counterpart.

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

Lovely car but a C1

C2

The Escort 6 desirability scale is akin to the STD desirability scale.

I’m going to say that particular one is somewhat desirable purely on account of it appears to have the deep dish Escort Cosworth alloys, as opposed to the more common version fitted on the Mondeo Si etc. Last set of those wheels I saw come up for sale were a grand. 

[Schaefft]

I know the new Baleno isn't necessarily fitting the pattern of cars shown in this thread. It will probably be one of those impossible to find ones in 20 years though.

Aside from that, Corsa B/Combo van that has held up remarkably well aside from the wind deflector and another wonderfully rust free EJ9 Civic in white.

[Schaefft]

More ferry shite.

[Schaefft]

Back in Athens and the chod spotting orgy immediately continued. How about this street parked bmw 2002 survivor?

[Schaefft]

Camrys of this generation are fairly rare in Europe, they sold in masses in Russia though. No surprise then that this came over on Ukrainian plates.

Also, since the Hyundai Accent is s topic on here lately, still tons of clean examples to be found around here.

[Schaefft]

More Corolla sedan action (they are everywhere) and this sorry looking Fiat.

[Schaefft]

Some early Passat action. Remarkably rust free as well.

[Schaefft]

More Civic sedan shots. Appropriate shite on the background.

Also Alfa Spider, most likely the 2.0 TS. A little on the rough side.

[Schaefft]

I think this is the first Excel of this shape I have seen, still looking great. So does the E36 Coupe, the number and great condition of so many E36 around here keeps surprising me.

[Schaefft]

Another great spot of a rare BMW casually parked on the street, E30S Baur Convertible.

[Schaefft]

As you'll have noticed, I have a soft spot for Civics. Seeing this entirely rust free 3rd gen hatch was probably one of the highlights of the week. I'd love to take this one home with me.

[Schaefft]

Right in front of it, this fantastic looking E34. Everything just seems right about it.

[Schaefft]

In the same street these were found.

[Schaefft]

Skoda (Favorit) Forman, not many of them around at all.

Also random Dodge Dekota. When compact pickups were still relatively small.

[Schaefft]

Another E30 316i in wonderful condition. I've actually looked up used car prices in Greece, unfortunately they are all priced about right for a good condition 316i (as in not cheap).

[Schaefft]

Rover 620ti actually looking pretty good. And another 323 sedan.
