@Mark99: please don't use for every photo an own comment. This fills up the page annoyingly fast.

The Benz not not a W124, it's the predecessor W123.

Today I had been on a funeral. The Hearse was nothing special at all, just a dull

When I should think about to make a testament, I will point out, that such boring clunkers are not discussable. And not junk-cars as on the previous funeral I had been: dented, stinking Mercedes Vito.

My dream would be the legend:

Unfortunately it's located now 550 km away from me. I've seen this car, when I was a kid. The first owner was an undertaker in Hannover, where I grew up.

Renault Clio Sedan with Moldavian plate.
How is it called there? Symbol or Thalia?

Moldavian plates look like really badly faked German ones. :grin:

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
Here these are normally just named Land Cruiser (the big one being the Land Cruiser V8), but this one comes from Peru, guessed from the "Grupo Pana Toyota" sticker on the rear window.

Seen yesterday night through the window of a luxury car dealer. All cars are black ones, except the 3 oldest ones: 2 red 328 and a 190SL...

A few minutes ago at the gas station in my village (connected with the old-established Fiat/Alfa/Lancia-dealer). Unfortunately badly repainted.

It's a "REIMO"-conversion, not a Westfalia "James Cook", as it looks like.

A few minutes ago at my fitness-club in the next town. Brand new, first registration in Feb.2015

It was not sold by a Ford-dealer, the plate-holder is from this company:

https://www.uscars24.de/Deutsch/Index.html They are offering US Car-imports, mainly used, but new cars -as this one-, too, spare parts, conversions to pass the EU-regulations, LPG-gas-conversions, all incl.the paperwork with the authorities.

35,000 euro at least to import that. http://www.usa-car-import.com/nl/news/nieuwe-ford-mustang-2015-via-usa-car-import.html

Is it only the UK that is getting official imports from Ford? They're even building them in RHD.

I saw a Tesla Model S today, it was moving too quick to get a photo, it was less than a month old as it was on the new '15' plate. Has to be the first genuinely appealing and usable electric car?
07/04/2015 @ 10:11:38: antp: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
No, there was the Tesla Roadster before that :grin:
07/04/2015 @ 21:01:12: eLMeR: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Many years ago, appealing in its kind and (more or less) usable was the Lohner-Porsche.
As usual, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... :wink:

If I'm not mistaken, it's a 1948 Cadilac Series 62 Sedan?

There was a Perfecto jacket on the back seat and a Jivaro type shrunken head on the mirror. But I didn't see Fonzie in the neighborhood :grin:
