And the reflection of the C-V8, offering an unexpected/unusual variation of how the car could have looked

An small old post war East-German two-stroke IFA truck.

Just around the corner today.

In the car park at Sainsburys, Northfleet. A rather glamorous blonde lady was heading back towards it from the recycling bins at the rear of the car park. I wonder why someone should take their recycling rubbish to a supermarket in an Aston. I wonder if she wondered why a handsome chap like me was doing his shopping at Sainsburys in a Jensen. Probably not.

If you'd care to use your rear view mirror more John you would have noticed she was probably following you, being so Swarve swanning around in your lovely CV8
God I just love those Astons, but, they say they don't drive like an Interceptor does, hard work and not as nice, and that comment actually came from a pre-owner of a DBSV8 who now has an Interceptor now
Great Pic JohnBoyMan..Kindness always

That is a very nice example, pity about the rear wheels. It is forgivable if you have nothing available to replace the originals.
I think the 2-stroke engines of these East-German IFA's (later Wartburg) are considered a better quality than those from the equivalent DKW's which is a bit surprising. The later Wartburg engines were used a lot as a base in DKW 3-6/1000's that were raced in the 60's.

I forget where this was taken or whose car it was but thought it nicely choreographed and from an unusual angle so worth sharing.

And unusual "arty" reflections in the rear glass...

A 1960ish Corvette plus Austin Healey 3000. Elsewhere on this thread it’s been mention how small they are and so it is demonstrated by the two closely located fellows in the 3000. They weren’t particularly tall and neither was the Vetter but he looks altogether more laid back and comfortable. Seen in Luxembourg Ville drawing attention away from the Bentley GTC in front.
So much money in classic cars in Luxembourg - I wonder where it all comes from?

This car always was the coolest car on the block in 1972, preferably with 2.6 engine and 195 bhp.
Nothings changed much since then and it still cuts a dash even when standing still.
Shows great taste on the part of the owner. Again from Luxembourg Ville

What a lovely patinated original leather interior to sit in while you proceed down the road.

When was the last time you saw a VW Golf pickup?
