| This 1952 series II Morris Minor was parked near the top of a steep hill at Day's Bay in the Wellington area. A tough climb for the 803cc A series motor, but at least if it ever suffered a flat battery the down-hill run would make for easy starting. Having said that I must admit that many Morries have been retro-fitted with the 948 or even 1098cc motors. I remember when a lot of small cars were fitted with these folding rear carriers for extra luggage space. |

| This Peugeot is parked in my own driveway. It belonged to an acquaintance of my daughter, who was passionate about Peugeots. I understood this passion after being allowed a drive of it. A very tidy 1990 Mi 16, it had handling, performance and comfort that would challenge many cars of much later years. A true classic that you would want to keep.....but he didn't ! |

| This 190E Mercedes is parked in an alley in central Wellington. I assume it's an Evolution II look-a-like; not the real thing. |
 |
| Parked at Wellington Hospital is this very tidy little 1972 Alfa-Romeo GT 1300 Junior. I have never driven this model Alfa, but if it's anything like the models I have experienced it will beg to be driven hard and fast. |

| An old bus converted into a motor home carries a BMW R65 as a spare. |

| I took this photo about 7 or 8 years ago of a 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230. It was in every day use at this time and knowing how well those 70s Benzs are put together, I would not be surprised if it is still in use now. |

| A 1985 Mercedes-Benz 250 factory built limousine is snapped in Upper Hutt. The owner apparently had two of these for use as hire vehicles. |

| A lovely old Mercedes-Benz 220A parked in Palmerston North. As solid as a rock and still going strong. |
