The 2014 Classic Motorshow took part in Lahti, Finland a week ago. Since the outside car park for 30-year-old and older enthusiast cars is always a place to do some excellent sightings, I wandered around the parking lot with camera at hand. Certainly, there were a number of cars I had never seen in the metal ever. The Jaguar in the lead image was only one of the cars that stopped me in my tracks. X1/9:s were definitely numerous at the show’s parking lot, some with federal bumpers, some without. Several ZAZ:s? But of course. Russian plates were a natural thing to see on them. A classic flat-front 900 Aero in tidy condition. I expect it had been restored at least once. First Lotus Esprit I’ve seen, I think. The windshield was as flat as it could be. Oh Austin, how dumpy you are. Matador, Scaramanga style. I have no idea which powerplant this GT40 replica had, but the dashboard was a BMW one. Rally Escorts came in several shapes. Good old Rekord. But a Princess, of all things! And a Mini-based Midas, too. This Pontiac 6000LE merited a shot, definitely. As did this duo. I had never seen a Ro80 before. Two kinds of saloons, rounded and blocky. Would you take the Panhard or the Crown? I love the SD1, and this was a Vitesse even. Excellent Citroën weirdness. And as a parting shot, the BMW 635 CSi.
