RE: POTW: Monte Carlo or bust
Friday 8th February 2013
This time last week we were out in Monaco for the Monte Carlo Historique. Our itinerary was driven - literally - by our Renault hosts to tail one of five Alpine A110s taking part in the event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the car's 1-2-3 victory in the Monte. That didn't go so well, our designated A110 driven by that 1973 winner Jean-Claude Andruet who, dazzled by our Megane's xenons, decided he was going to clear off and leave us to it.
POTW: Monte Carlo or bust
The world's most eclectic and interesting car park? It's in Monte Carlo!
Which was fine. But we missed out on seeing all the cars grouped together. Which is what we have here - parc ferme at the harbour in Monaco. And what a sight! If you want a taste of just how eclectic the event is take some time picking out some of the tastiest titbits lurking in this shot. It's kind of an automotive Where's Wally?, a couple of minutes' browsing turning up cars we'd only previously seen in the depths of the night in the hills above Monaco. Among this lot are the Renault 8 Gordini, baby blue 1974 Porsche Carrera, Fintail Mercedes and others we followed along the stages. There's even the Fiat 128 3P that we found upside down on a hairpin, here in happier times shortly before that slight mishap. Fair play - he was giving it death when he came past us.
Anyway, enjoy the pic and let us know your favourite from the crowd...

Not trying hard enough, I count 14........... any advance........?I only spent 2 minutes looking (honest) and spotted 13 Porsches and not all 911's.

I have spent about 15 minutes looking at this picture, so I decided to add a few notes to it...
There's also possibly a Lada (D), though I'm fairly certain that's a Fiat. I like the large Mercedes saloons too (E & F).

Heaven. I can see so many cars I want. Especially the Peugeot 104 ZS lurking near the back.
There are two that I can see, white one (A) and red one (B). I like the white one mickers70 said:
I spy a Yugo ?
I think so too (C), unless it's the equivalent Fiat on which it was based?There's also possibly a Lada (D), though I'm fairly certain that's a Fiat. I like the large Mercedes saloons too (E & F).

15 for me. What's the white car behind silver 26?
If you mean the one I've labelled as G, it appears to be an unusually modified E Type.911stu said:
Its like countdown, i have a definite 18, possible 19 ( the red one at the top of the picture has a glimpse of what looks like a 911 rear window and c pillar behind it)
I have a definite 19, and number 20 is a possible that looks like it has non-standard rear lights (the silver one just above the 0).topalwaysdown said:

Fiat 124, maybe the S or the Special T. But not convinced because of the grill220SE's, I think.
