Now, this thread would be worthless without some example pictures!
If you like what you see, please feel free to take a look at the rest any maybe repost your favourites in here. The Classic Motor Show happens in a few days, so I hope to have a ton more photos up from that. Also, I should mention, I am no Killrob, I just do this because I like the cars, I’m by no means a pro photographer.
If you want to subscribe to my photostream, also feel free, and cheers for looking.
Second was the Practical Classics Restoration Show, where I didn’t get too many pictures but still managed some interesting stuff. Excellent show too. secure.flickr.com/photos/102973 … 913633153/
Personally, I think the strangest thing there was this, a Tarpan 233S:
Outside of Poland, they don’t really exist, at all. This one was brought back by a guy from Practical Classics magazine. (Excluding Greece/Iran, where it was apparently sold.)
This - the Mercedes 230 E. Nothing special, you’re right. The thing is, this is the first car I consciously remember driving in, it belonged to my grandfather at the time. His Mercedes was of brown colour, the engine had 136 hp and when my grandfather brought me home, I was allowed to climb on his lap and steer up the driveaway, which was a huge deal for me. I was 4. Also a very nice car, very german though.

This show is hosted by MG, so about half of it is just MG. And for all their flaws, I really like the MGF. At least one of them was showing signs of head gasket failure on the day though, good old K series.
[quote=“Vroomvroom”]I have found one picture that I did like a lot, I shall explain why.

Nothing special as it is, but sometimes the boring unappreciated stuff is the good stuff. Similarly, my earliest memory is being sat in the back of what I later found out was my parents’ old 1985 Toyota Corolla 1.3 GL (this probably explains a lot ). I quite like crappy cars. A lot of them go along performing their function of getting people from A to B faultlessly, then are scrapped when they get old. For me, that’s part of their charm.
They may be common there, but they aren’t everywhere. They’re classed as classics now and they were at the show, I have photos of them anyway. There is interesting stuff around them.
The old Panda in an intresting car indeed. Cheap, reliable, versatile and also not bad looking at all.
May I start an import of Panda in UK? No… I forgot the wrong steering position in UK

It may be crappy… but some still run today.
