Lovely Classic Car Rally - photo topic
Discussion
With off course, the inevitable DS (Godess):
Lovely example - note the headlights. And yes, they will follow your steering input.
There were so many made and today they are not a rare sight so maybe one overlooks the sheer quality and beauty of these cars - I love 'em! Maybe upgrade with a modern 2 liter 4 and they will make a great daily people mover.
That's what I mean!
Alpine Renault V6 next to a BMW Isetta.
Interlude
I have no idea how these compare to period Lotus cars: anyone?
Next: Dzjerman.

Merc:
What a smart coupe this is!
Closer look:
Damn!
A bit more bold than the period Italian coupes.
Hints of Facel Vega.
Maybe a bit overdone on the chrome bits . . .
Teunonic mobster hack:
50s Bullitt Charger.
For many this was the star of the show.
Just as with the DS: gorgeous details on this S.
Presence.
Next: more Yank.

I was thoroughly impressed by this straight six 2.8 Falcon family hack:
Owner bought this '64 Falcon because of the space: perfect family hack to take the kids to the beach.
Can't argue about it being huge. The owner states the 6 is big enough to cruise around.
Walk around and you'll find beautifull details.
Period typography: loving it.
This? Or an Audi A6 . . .
Compare to an Audi unit! Blimey this car is designed to admire.
Is this to wind up the rear window?
Next: E-type.

Just shows what a low Mercedes is currently on, that 220s is a beautiful thing. What a smart coupe this is!

And it is indeed. Classic Mercedes is here to stay.
There are quite a lot over here and on the roads. 70s/80s SLs and Ss are quite common. As are the W123. But I expect these to be common everywhere. They refuse to die!
E-type:
THE nose.
One of the great classic noses. Although the DS has a fine one as well.
Not sure about the white walls.
Drive by: no sound, just a whizz.

Mercedes:
R107 yum, a popular and low entry summers daily driver. Lots of 'em around.
I'd choose the auto option.
And now for something completely different!
I say!
Another one with the engine in the back . . .
A bit younger . . .
Almost new!
Liking the wheels on this R107.
Next: last Yank bits.

Late C3 Vette.
Regular low emission 350 CID - sweet enough.
Owner fitted the tag 'me and my large penis extension' perfectly.
'65 Stang every summers day.
Done. For the Dutchies: maybe next year and check the website http://www.hetlaatsterondje.com/index.html
Dunno if foreign entries are welcome - this event is 'sold out' within a day! - but if you are interested, please drop me a line.
Cheers, Dinkel
