Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

[Eye-Q]

Normal looking VW Campervan, right? - Wrong!

I just remembered I have something from yesterday's commute: a Mini cabrio! Since the center of gravity is so low with those original Minis I'd guess the risk of flipping over is pretty low so you don't need much in terms of a rollover bar or something...

Apparently noone except for the cyclist spots nice cars anymore...

In October 2022 I spotted a Mercedes 170 S Cabriolet A, now it's closed brother...

We just drive by too fast.

Granted, I have a few pictures from the past year or so, that I could post...

...anyway, next unusual car today: A Saab 99. As if that's not rare enough nowadays, someone converted it to an electric car, indicated by the "E" at the end of the numberplate. Only hybrid-electric and fully electric cars are elegible for those numberplates.

Google image search tells me it's a Simca 1100.

That's awesome! My parents had one, which proved to be too small when I incremented their children count to 3.

"Time to buy the 7-seat SUV!"

When I bought my first own car, an Audi 80 B4, I asked the seller why he sold it just four months after buying it. His answer: "my four children can't fit on the rear seats because the doorcards are too thick"...

My friend Justin's Suzuki Capuchino at our SCCA region's autocross last Saturday:

Yours truly driving my WRX at the same event... Old & slow, but still competing.

Ford Mustang Mach 1

1969 model to be specific. My favorite Mustang year.

I believe this is a Vanderhall though which specific model, I am unsure.

Continental?

Both are Lincoln Continentals.

View attachment 3573484Dodge police car (is this the Blues Brothers one?)

Same model, wrong year for Blues Brothers. Bet it's more to go along with the General Lee and The Plymouth, but that's just a guess.

No clue again

Ford Model T, later model, but I do not know them well enough to say an exact year.

 

[NooDle]

That's wild. Looking at the tail lights, license plate area and rear fog lights, was this specifically sold for the European market? I don't think I have ever seen a Corsica with amber turn signals.

Pretty sure that's a 1959 Chevrolet El Camino.

That's an SM.

TVR Cerbera

That's a Griffith, not a Cerbera.

I have no idea, this is the first time I knew such a thing existed. Given the rest of the weirdness I saw I would indeed bet some strange Belgian did just that just to be quirky
