It sure is! I had one of the same but a 4-door hardtop, in two-tone pink! Push-button transmission selector! It was a good car...

I kinda wish I had color film loaded in one the cameras I had with me, because this one was pink (with white accents), too!

My neighbours had a similar Simca Pedro - a nice reminder!

A rare sight, particularly at Prescott Hill Climb, the home of the Bugatti Owners Club. A Bentley 3 litre. Leica M5, Zeiss Biogon C 35mm f2.8, Ilford Delta 400 in FX39. Classic Zeiss pop!

An admirable wee beastie the Napier Railton. Polished within an inch of its life every waking moment!

The "Bullitt" Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the 1968 movie "Bullitt." Long thought to be lost, it resurfaced a few years back. A pic on Ferrania P30. Canon F-1.

You did “show me a nice old car”, so well within the spirit, seems like.
Having driven a real Mini Cooper back in the day, of around this vintage, and a few of the new (sort of bloated😱) German ones, I’d much rather have this one, as they’re more fun. Bonkers.

Fun seems to be the missing ingredient in a lot of things these days. CPU's make them very wonderful but too complex and, worse still, bland these days.
I just wish I could afford/justify buying a restored version of some of the cars I've owned over the last 50 years...

Should probably have panned the car rather than getting the background sharp.. 🙂

Sweet little Morris Minor!

And that engine had a lot of lives in various forms; rather like the Barnacks...

Speaking of CPUs, this Mercedes-Benz 240D is supposedly the best car for a zombie apocalypse. According to this article, it doesn't require any electronics to run, not even spark plugs to ignite the fuel. The door locks are powered by a mechanical vacuum system, and even the oil-pressure gauge is mechanical. A truly "analog" car in a digital age! 😉
Mercedes-Benz 240D W123.123 (1978-1985).

Just good old fashioned electrical glow plugs to get it started.
Somewhere in Morocco is a taxi driver who has a W115 240D that is on about 3 million KMs. Those engines can last for ever, but with their very low speed, the journeys feel the same way.
Very nice picture Dourbalister. I love those things with a passion, but despite my love of black and white, I love the 70s colour options so much one of my little games is guessing the colour and the exact colour code, which you can't do from B&W.
