Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Looks like Napoli?

Kind of settled on a Caravelle, but it looks like they’re around 20k for a 140,000 mile example.

That mews has form. Five years ago, or so,I saw a peacock poncing around like nothing was strange.

Damn...that's mental. I thought VW prices were nutty here.

If that price and mileage is what is available then I think you should look at new options. Renault, Ford, Citroen or whatever as you will spend a fortune making it just right.

And 3 gen in one pic but not in the right order

Three gen , wrong order

They start at £46,600 for a new one.

Out for a ride today I think this must be the rarest and most expensive car I have ever seen just parked at the side of the road.

A beautifully restored series 5 Aston Martin DB4 GT.

Winner.
That is really lovely.

In Volvo news, there has finally (and thankfully) been lots of progress. Engine is in, lots of small jobs done like leaking master cylinder, rear washer not working, aircon regassed etc. It's just waiting for a bulkhead engine mount because the one that was on it was a bit fucked.

Not wid French plates?

Hurrah!

Spendy huh. But I think if you have the money and won't ruin I think it could be quite a good deal as you should get most of your money back

I'm super tempted on a vw camper but knowing how we look after our other cars we'd wear it down faster than most... Kids in cars is something else

Nope. Volvo still wins

Strong page already. Great news about the Volvo @NurseHolliday.

What spec is it?

Same.

Call me a basic bitch, but I really quite like this (reserved though): https://used.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/en/vehicles/volkswagen/caravelle/se-20tdi-150ps-swb-eu6-bmt-dsg-van-gjcdhpw

Doors on those are so mental. Never seen one in the flesh.

I think they look better in a bolder colour

EDIT or maybe in coupe format?

Thing is, after my yurting experience...

These jeep sized campers don't appeal.

Holdup!
