Spotted this Alvis, while killing time in a monster traffic jam to Antwerp today (2 hours for 40 km, should have taken my bicycle  ;))

Austin Cambridge, a couple of MGB's, Vauxhall Cavalier, and some others I can't recall as I was before a traffic light and needed to be looking out for that too

That reminds me: Sunday I saw a Rolls-Royce (prewar, but need to see what type exactly) and a Jaguar (Mk 2 I think).

Ultra's post also reminds me:

I saw a new Maserati Gran Turismo in Hilmar, CA.  I think the population is like 10.  The usual one stop sign, one gas station 7-11 type store in a dusty backwater Central Valley town.

One hour ago I saw a beautiful 1962 Lancia Flavia convertible (by Vignale), just around the corner from where I live:

Was at a friends beach house in Capitola, Ca.  Usual F360 (about three different ones, all red).  A few Porsche 996s.  Massive amounts of BMWs.

Across the street from where we were staying was a Tesla.  At first I dismissed it as an Elise, but the lettering on the rear caught my eye as it spelled out "TESLA".  I was hoping that it would be there when I got back from my ride so I talk with the owner and snap some pic and maybe bum a ride.  No luck, it was gone when I got back from my ride and I didn't see it again.

This afternoon I saw this interesting taxi in Amsterdam: a 2008 Eagle Motorsports EG6043KR (this is the official name of this vehicle, but I think they could better find a different, more commercial name for it...):

Today my best friend and I went (by 1957 Panhard) to a meeting of the Dutch historic car race club (HARC) on the Zandvoort circuit. Lots of Porsches, Morgans, Minis, Corvettes, Falcons, Marcoses, Escorts, Cortinas, Mustangs, Ferraris, Abarths... But frankly speaking, we didn't really like it. We prefer travelling by classic car rather than racing with them.
Nevertheless I think these pics might be interesting:
1. Magirus with Dutch Hainjé body (1953, originally a military vehicle)
2. Ferrari Dino 246 GT from 1971
3 and 4. Ferrari 250 GT with Pininfarina body from 1955, with an original license from 1956.

I've a bit of time to spend at the moment so I thought I'd post some images taken over the last two or three months in the car park just outside my apartment -

Firstly - a batch of small cars - very common here in the South of France.

These should be from top to bottom -

Aixam
Ligier
Grecav
Grecav (from rear)
Daihatsu
Mini Moke (and another on the extreme right)

Great pictures, Woodinsight! I especially like the Delahaye  :)
The Citroën Light Fifteen is called 11 BL (Berline Légère) in France, the one shown here dates from 1953+ (big luggage boot).
The DB Panhard is actually a 1964/65 Panhard CD, designed by Charles Deutsch (hence CD), after the collaboration with René Bonnet came to an end. I once had the privilege to drive one. It is incredible low and fast (with only a 2-cylinder 848 cc engine...).
