One For Classic Car Fans.....

When Mini D# 1 was at school one of her classmates was often dropped off by her Mum in a Diablo. Her Dad had a roller.

Her Dad had a roller.

I’ll bet she was the envy of every schoolboy, getting dropped off in one of those…

School Run parking problems? You need the Aveling Barford DC012.

My former employer had a Bentley, could well have been an Arnarge, bit difficult to remember but....
When he traded it in against a new Continental, we learned the depreciation was effectively £2k a WEEK. No matter to him, it all went on the company books iirc.
Someone caused slight damage to the door, repair cost...£5k
One of the guys used to fill it up for him (he wouldn't generally do it himself)..roughly £100 a week just for commuting, that was back in the early 2000s.
Phew, nice cars but crippling costs for mere mortals.

Evidently a club outing to Tintern Abbey yesterday. They must have been disappointed it was a somewhat wet day so their roofs likely stayed resolutely up. Lovely cars though. A pal has a very nice green one

One of only two ever made I believe.

Thanks a lovely old thing

I was rummaging through an old hard drive and found these shots from Rome, 21 years ago! There a few motorbikes too, but I'll put them on the classic bike thread.

What model is the black car? Looks like an Alfa Romeo, but which one?

I seen this 2CV on my walk. Lovely car, terrible parking. Why don't they remove the window frame and knock down the front wall so they can drive it right into the house!

On our morning walk I spotted an original Metro Kensington in a pale metallic blue colour, second time I have seen what I believe is the same car in same area of town

Not full fat though, if that matters.

I don't mind those early Porches, when they had minimal additions
That's a Fiat Campagnola behind the Alfa
