Old car corner

I'm very busy right now, so you'll have to make do with some photos of cars I spotted  while dropping my parents Berlingo in for its service earlier this week. Leamington's "Car Quarter" is always interesting. 

Interesting colour Alfa Sud - but in really nice condition considering the propensity of these cars to rot.

The DVLA MOT checker doesn't like the numberplate on this 1300, but it's in a good, usable condition.

How is this a classic? I remember then coming out!

Always good to see a Beetle on the road. Those wings are replacements in the number plate is correct as that's a 71, and the sloping headlights were replace in 1968. Looks good in a kind of rough'n'ready way.

Really interesting selection of cars in one spot Phil. I am particularly taken by the Alfa. They were real pocket rockets at the time. A friend of mine had one who spent every weekend filling another rust hole. He never won the battle against the tin worm but he had a great time driving it before the MoT tester couldn't be fooled by the freshly applied underseal any more! Those were the days or were they????
