Good evening. Would any members based in or around Berlin have any advice of places to take wijit junior to spot the occasional nice metal? We're not blessed with time, so going out to the dealerships away from the centre isn't really an option.
Thank you in advance.

I visited a place called Meilenwerk as I recall in Berlin which had storage and dealer facilities for hundreds of amazing classic cars in Berlin. Well worth a visit

Thank you very much, I think we'll probably take a look there.

Here is an article I wrote a few years ago that might give you a flavour....

There's a VW museum type deal on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin mitte, just before you turn right off Freidrichstrasse to walk toward the Brandenburg Gate. I was there at the start of January and there were some nice Porsches on display (new 718 Cayman and a GT3RS) along with some other interesting cars and nice artwork on the walls. There's also a cool gift shop where you can buy hats, models, keyrings etc for all VAG group cars (VW/Audi/Porsche/Lamborghini/Bentley/Bugatti - even some Ducati stuff if you're into bikes)

You're going to Berlin and want to see the stuff you can easily see in any big city at home?

Have some imagination. Berlin is a historic and culturally diverse city. There's so much more to do than spot cars.

I love Berlin and have been going there for decades. Agree completely but I think OP was just looking for auto related. Your sig reminded me that OP could book A Trabi tour in an old Trabant.

Trabi tours are excellent! Even though I own one, I still hired one in Dresden recently.

Thanks for such a valuable contribution, and for just assuming that whilst we're there that's all we'll do.
I asked a single question, which two fellow ph'ers answered with more than enough for us. But in true PH fashion of late there had to be your type of reply. Nice.
