"Les visiteurs" with interesting load:



Possible that they participated in the international meeting of 2CVs in Toruń, which ended yesterday.

It has windshield with curved edges, which seems to be more common in older Meharis. Maybe body is a later remplacement...
Curiously also older models are to meet with 2 types of front window:

I didn't notice this untill today.

Here is one in reverse view:

It's late in the night now, I'm tired and should sleep since a while, but a few single sights of the last time I'll already show to you. More later.


My 11-year-old godchild was fascinated not just for the first visit of the holy ground of his beloved greatest football-club

also from this green plastic car in front of the management's building







The day before he was not interested to go to
http://www.schloss-dyck-classic-days.de/ *
so from that event we noticed, despite some very early MGBs, just



in front of us.


*no kidding, our K 70-Club was invitated by Volkswagen Klassik to participate there. But we refused that offer, because again (uncounted times in the last 25 years) we are fed up with that morons.

A few photographs from the Moffat rally last month: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkparamount/sets/72157652853239344

Nice Hunter GLS for dsl.

I like the Ginetta, if not the colour scheme (nothing against the union flag, just don't like to see cars painted like that).

..... and an Avenger Tiger Mk1.

I see 1985 SAAB 90 there

Reliant Kitten DL spotted in Carlisle: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkparamount/20327453336/

Spotted today:

Two sightings from yesterday, on the way back from my canal-swim at the prolonged lunchtime on the other side of the village:

In front of a garage:





Unusual company-vehicles of an advertising company:





Is this a special edition? Found in the clunker-backyard of a local dealership on the seach for a car for ecclefechan:





Now the vehicle-related impressions of our Disney Resort Paris-trip 3 weeks ago with my wife's little niece:


































I really doubt that this wee bucket is large enough:














































































































And on the way back we had lost 45 minutes near Gent, because someone has chopped one of the well-known Belgian motorway-lanterns. Funny Belgian sign for "accident on the road"

Just wondering :
Does the owner thinks he can " Escape " by water if needed or he just misunderstood the Hybrid concept ?

Found a friend for ingo's little blue Rapid van. My idea was to put my stuff in my trunk first then take the pic but suddenly i heard a Beetle-like engine sound passing near me. Just had time to get my camera and snap this one. I expected it to turn right again so i could get another shot but it turned left at the stop sign, going slowly but away from me...

Nice pics from Disney ingo. Just curious about the red one in the stunt part. Which car is it based on ?

It is a custom made for the show, loosely based on an Opel Tigra, Corsa or Astra Coupé I guess?
I remembered these cars with Opel badges. Did they remove these at some point? Was the deal with Opel stopped but they continued then with the same cars?

@ Baube:
1968-72 front bumper (with integrated footboard), and 1972-79 flared front wheel arches and rear part (square vents and taillights, horizontal molding above the plate...): "your" T2 is a 1972 only model, i.e. the last version of the T2a.

The Goupil G3 is used a lot here in my town: municipal services, home delivery services, moving advertisement and so on. I talked to some drivers: it's really hot inside in summer (no air cooling: now just look at the windshield...), really cold in winter (electric vehicles usually have a poor heating) and has almost no suspension: it was certainly a good idea at first, but ended as some kind of "green washing" vehicle for municipal departments and other companies to the disadvantage of the drivers...

Seen these last days/weeks:

Old BMW	Modified Peugeot J7
¡Siesta!	2015 Defender
Hummer H2 and American flag: the American dream is apparently still alive, for some...	1986-89 MVS Venturi: a 100% French GT with a PRV V6, a Renault gearbox and... Citroën CX Série 2 mirrors
Die Hard: the owner of this 1983 MB often uses it to travel from Marseille to Ariège, which means 950 km/490 mi back and forth...	Defender Double cab
Microcar Due

As usual, click on a picture to see the large version of it (and other viewpoints if available).

Found the article while looking for the car ( thanks to antp, knowing that it was wearing a Opel badge sure helped ). In the article, they say that the car was designed by Opel ( after watching pics of different models, i think they chose a Corsa ( or Tigra ) for this one too, Astra coupe looked to me about the size of a Civic and this one looks smaller )


@ eLMeR : Thanks for the precisions on the VW. My guess was at least 1968 because of sidemarker ( even if i'm not sure about the canadian regulations )but i'm totally lost about the other details
BTW, nice Venturi. i knew the Atlantique ( got some pics of a blue one somewhere in my books/magazines ) but totally forgot there was one before it

It's quite probable, that also the red cars are based on a Corsa or Tigra (on the way to the show you pass the large garage, where all show-vehicles are maintenaced), but actually also of the black Corsas are just the bodyshells left over -mainly replced with carbon-fibre parts-, all technical bits are replaced. So all cars are RWD and have mid-engines. Also chassis and suspension are completely replaced. At the end they show and explain the cars.

Cool find, Lateef

I like that 2015 Land Rover Defender camper.

Vauxhall Sintra. These were never common:


Don't think the Estafette was ever offered officially in the UK. Even if they were this one is an import as the steering wheel is on the wrong side:

Indeed.

Vehicle make RENAULT
Date of first registration 16 January 2015
Year of manufacture 1979
Vehicle colour WHITE

Maybe a future food truck ? I've noticed food trucks in London are often based on "exotic" vehicles, with quite a few recently imported Citroën Type H.
