Great spotting there Mr Spottedlaurel,some cars i've never even heard of! The Datsun 280C Diesel must have been a conversion though? The Fiat 500 (reg 7566 RX 41) looks like it could be modified with twin exhausts & I wonder what else?
The Mercedes W126 looks a bit high at the front so maybe the engine has been removed. Looks like a BMW e46 M3 is there as well. Great pictures & enjoy your holiday.

Thanks. Diesel engines were common in the bigger Datsuns and Nissans in LHD European markets. At least this big old thing got a 2.8-litre 'six', earlier models got a 2.2 'four' when the petrol models got 2.6/2.8-litre engines....

There was also a Series 2 Jaguar/Daimler XJ in that yard, and a couple of Mk1 Golf Cabriolets.

Just got back from my holiday in Egypt (Sharm el-Sheikh is a horrible place with nothing pleasant to offer anyone, don't ever go there) and enjoyed nothing except for the ancient sites and the ancient cars............

Much old Japanese stuff around?

Some great spots on this page. Nice to see cars that aren't prevalent in the UK. Thanks for sharing.

Cars like that seem to be very popular in Norway.
We've seen loads around on our travels thus week!

This is my Brothers Ex car. He sold this and a Triumph 500 to but a Morris Eight Jensen, Wally!

It was a great car, I took it on a tour of Norway many moons ago and it ran perfectly.

Tell him it's being well cared for, Jon. It is immaculate.

I think it belongs to GTRene. I'm sure he's mentioned it before.

Some very nice shots of the US cars in Norway there.
In fact loads of interesting spots from around the world on this page!
I'll add a few of mine from Norway and Sweden so far.

An older couple were doing a road trip in this Jag. The car looked immaculate.

My favourite so far though has to be this 911 Carrera RSR.
It sounded spectacular as the driver floored it away after stopping for me to grab a photo.

There was some, but not as much as in Greece, and most was post-1980 so slightly too recent to really interest me. I did photograph a couple, though, both in Sharm.

might get more interest if you post the pictures rather that links. There are forum tags on sharing sites, generally.
