Replying to: andys120 (Jun 30, 2008 10:49 am) The car in motion is a VW Type 34 Karmann Ghia. Nearest the camera looks like a Triumph Herald, across the street is an Opel GT, maybe a Bedford or Ford van, and what looks like a Jag 3.4.

Replying to: lemko (Jun 30, 2008 11:08 am) That's the 'other' VW Karmann Ghia. These ares listed as a '62 and a '64 'type 343': Replies to this message: lemko (Jun 30, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: texases (Jun 30, 2008 11:24 am) Thanks! I'm familiar with the "classic" VW Karmann Ghia with the little "grilles" on the front end.

Replying to: fintail (Jun 30, 2008 11:24 am) Yep, that's the Type 34 K-G (aka VW 1600) which was never exported to the US. I'm not sure why except that they sold every Type 1 they could make. It did look a little like a BMW 1600/2002 from behind but like the Bimmers it was heavily influenced by the Corvair> I think there's another Jag MkII parked in front of the one that's behind the van.

Replying to: andys120 (Jun 30, 2008 1:31 pm) I know a number of those made it to NA as private imports...I know there are a couple floating around my area, unless the worthless greenback has seen them re-imported. Quite a few cars copied the Corvair in some ways. It's really a shame one of GM's progressive cars was doomed.

Replying to: andys120 (Jun 30, 2008 1:43 pm) The front end says "Montverdi" to me, but I have no clue about the model.

Replying to: bumpy (Jun 30, 2008 2:54 pm) Looks like the European Accord from the mid 90s, but there were some odd offshoot names for some models, I think. Pretty sure those are Russian plates.

Replying to: andys120 (Jun 30, 2008 1:43 pm) The yellow car is a Jensen of some sorts? Replies to this message: andys120 (Jun 30, 2008 7:41 pm) magnette (Jun 30, 2008 11:38 pm) andys120 (Jul 01, 2008 4:15 am)
