Apparently Volvo made 335 stretched 264s called the TE (Top Executive), according to wikipedia more than a third of the production went to the GDR as state limousines. One of them ended up in pretty rough shape somewhere at a used car dealer in Hamburg...

Mercedes 170 S Cabriolet A - can you believe there were two versions of the 170 S convertible, the Cabriolet A (two seater convertible) and the Cabriolet B (four seater convertible)? According to wikipedia there were only 830 Cabriolet A's built, the body style with the smallest production numbers within the 170 S range, and the convertibles have been produced only from 1949 to 1951.

A Volvo Amazon in fairly decent order:

This tidy old Mercedes:

And a C2 Corvette convertible with side pipes:

The cargo van version of the ID-Buzz:

This will most likely be very popular among builders, electricians, and plumbers etc. around here.

Which is a weird concept to me that a plumber/electrician/contractor guy isn't in a van like this:

Yes! DS is gorgeous and the MR2 needs some love. I was very close to buying one but it just wasn't right.

I must be getting old, because I'm far more interested in the DS, Land Rover and that Side Hack than the Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

Also, I really wish someone with better build quality than Ural would make a cool side car rig.

Same.
I walk around Lisbon an sometimes see 911s and Ferraris and even the rare Lamborghini and it's "meh, someone with money", but when it's a pristine example of an NA Miata, E30, or some JDM exotica (like the awesome First gen Celica I saw) I get much more excited.
