Another interesting non Lotus spot

[maydharm]

As my last non Lotus spot seamed to spark some interest I thought I'd post another one.

I spotted this lovely little number on the M25  a month or so back.

Is that An old Citroen ??

like the period evaporative cooling option 👍

[maydharm]

I know great isn't it, no not a Citroen.

[Escape]

Renault?

[maydharm]

Not a Renault

That is a German DKW or Auto Union. The firs car with the four Audi Rings....

I can see the four rings on the hub caps, so it is an Auto Union...

Well we know where the French got the inspiration for the DS then 👍

Does look beetle cross DS cross Morris minor 👍

Another car i have seen before !  Looks like a citreon that has been chop shopped with a beetle   I think if you got rid of the four rings, you could pretty fool everyone by saying it was a proto type bettle from back in the day

 It's a 1961 DKW 1000S according to a number plate check, 601 YUB.

Sitting quietly in the back streets of Pinoso, Spain today, the dreaded tinmoth in the UK would have claimed these long ago.

My dad had a fiat 500, It was the second car he ever owned, I can remember him painting the bonnet and engine cover matt black to make it look more sporty. That must have been 48 years ago

my how things have changed

Being Spain, that one is the much rarer to us Seat version.

Following on from yesterday's spots on the streets of Pinoso, today I stumbled upon these 2 beauties in a completely unassuming garage in the same town. 

They also had an Elites , pictures of which I'll post separately.

It is a Seat 600 based on the Italian equivalent (the 500 was not really available/popular in Spain). The car that made motor cars popular and affordable in Spain. We also call it the “pelotilla” or small ball.

I think I've just fallen in love with an Alfa

@maydharm Easily done - it's a similar incurable affliction to the love of Lotus. There's been at least one Alfa of some description on my driveway for the past 25 years.
