Forgotten Classics in Cyprus

[Martin4356111]

Much to my wife’s displeasure, one of my hobbies is looking for classic cars either abandoned or rotting by the side of the road.

Fortunately for me, Cyprus is littered with them. I can’t drive ten minutes without stumbling across something ridiculously cool.

There are some proper rarities out there. This was one back yard.

Abandoned in Polis.

nice spots, never been to Cyprus, although I had the chance 40 years ago when I was in Lebanon for a while, some mates back then choose Cyprus for their vacation, I had to choose home for a girlfriend I had then

Cyprus has 2 sides one Turks I believe the Nord, is this the Greece parts?

Yup. UN maintain the border between the two.

My folks used to live in Episkopi village, there was fields of classics everywhere, and I often said about filling a few containers and shipping them back but didn’t know where to start!

Is rust a problem there?

When I was knocking about in Saudi (Hijaz) I naively though the cars would be rust free, because v.hot etc. However, for whatever environmental reason the reverse was true. And all the plastic bits were baked.

Rememeber when Malta used to be like that.

Looks like a Silver Wraith II with the smaller rear window.

Great work Dapster - I lazily saw the roofline and thought 'Fiat Dino'! Bigger C pillar vent is a dead giveaway now you've pointed it out.
