Electric Leyland Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Major highlight of the trip, this Honda Civic and Merc combination: Vauxhalls always seem more interesting when they're Opels. Cit Dyane 6 Lada Niva Had this one before I think, AMC Pacer Beretta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Leyland Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Check out the paintwork on this! Can you guess what it is yet? An attractive lady cycled by as we took the shots, enthusistically admitting it was hers! In the same street as this one A Belmont! Or an Opel should I say First time Mr HS had seen a Citroen Merhari in the flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Leyland Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 THis colour blue really suits the Citroen DS Pallas And saving the best til last. This was immaculate inside and out. The best Citroen SM I've ever seen. And that's all for this installment. Next will be my domestic spotting from the last 6 months, lots of bits and pieces to sift through.

barrett Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Bloody Norah, you found some right gems over there. I remember there being a lot of old motors about but nothing like this amount. I was fairly, er, distracted both times I was there though! The Skoda 1100 Kombi thing is predictably my favourite of the bunch, it's the sort of thing I'd drive if I was going to drown some puppies in a canal. Which probably happens a lot in Amsterdam, come to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I had a go at logging some while I was in 'Dam back in April (becoming 30 years old), I got a few of yours (white Amazon, Pacer) but ultimately failed where you triumphed. Did get a 262C by my hotel, though. I'll try and find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Did get a 262C by my hotel, though. I'll try and find it. Was it a silver one? If so, I got it a couple of years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT:- Correction:- No it wasn't, it was GOLD!!!! With no vinyl roof! Check it out! Apple oogies for the less than stellar, opportunistic photographism.

outlaw118 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That Weissman sporty thing was on Top Gear IIRC, they liked it on the test, and then appeared again in the Motorhome racing episode, lurking under the "Ultimate" motorhome, you remember £750,000, plasma screens and illuminated taps??

michiel Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Meh, Amsterdam... Great spots, threads like this one mean I don't have to make spotting trips to the centre of town myself, I can stay in the quiet southern parts of town. Drove past that 2CV last friday: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Leyland Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 OK here goes. A LOT of catching up to offer so this will spread out over several updates. Don't mind if no one replies or posts, just hope you enjoy them. To get the ball rolling and beginning with a few weeks after where I left off, more Australian spots from another trip last 'summer' (which is of course their 'winter'). And some Aussie numbers, won’t post too many of these in case you get really bored…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Leyland Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 And yes you read that right, $6,850, i.e. approx. £4,500. That’s completely normal. Old cars hold their value over there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Leyland Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Off piste a bit here, just for rarity purposes. SLS Gullwing had no takers at all, whereas every fella in the street stopped to gaze at the Camaro SS…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55bloke Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 647 JNH - I'm guessing Holden? Looks almost exactly like a Vauxhall Victor 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Leyland Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 And look at the number plate! Oh yeah, hadn't noticed that originally!. Yes the Victor was a Holden badged variant of. More Aussie spotting later. And now for some domestic stuff. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
