My May Day Weekend Edition posts continue, and today it’s time to move onto the European cars photographed on the May 1st cruise in Kokkola, Finland.
As expected, the turn-out was somewhat centred on American cars, but there were a number of very nice European cars present, some of them exceptionally rare.
This beautifully red Ford Taunus was a lovely sight. Can’t be too many of these left anywhere.
Not too far from it were these MG Midgets. I’ve sat in one of these two, and I can testify you kind of wear the car.
This Fiat 600 had eyelashes on it, and they kind of suit the car. Later on, one of them came off.
In case you thought, “Is that a Lancia Delta in the background?” Why, sure.
This Mercedes-Benz 220 was in better shape than 90% of old W114 Benzes here.
And I like to think going to the car event with little kids can turn them into car enthusiasts some time in the future.
Anglias were nicely present, too. They’re probably a great starter classic.
Not one…
But two brown Ford Granadas.
And a newer Granada in comparison. I kind of like the front lip on this one, it ‘s probably functional in autobahn speeds.
“The Beast.” Volvo hearses are surprisingly often seen here.
Super-rare 1984 Volvo 240 Turbo with a factory intercooler setup – excellent brownness.
I really like these drop-top Volkswagen Golfs in exactly this set-up – even if this one is a little too slammed.
This Fiat 127 was definitely aggressive-looking. It also sounded just as perky as it looks.
This 2CV has been featured before on the Verse.
And, to finish with a question: Would you call a Lada a European car?
