Great to see the old Volvo, Fiat and Nissan have survived all these years. I wonder how many of those Chinese EV’s will still be on the road in 20 - 30 years time?

Based ion this last set of photos Tom, I am officially out of the game of caring about new cars  (I also must have just slipped into "grumpy old man" territory). I think I'll take up fridges as my new hobby, they have more personality than cars these days!! Of the more interesting vehicles, I wasn't even aware that Fiat did a Strada Ute - in the absence of an Alfa workhorse type of vehicle may be I need to see if I can import this Fiat  . |

Mrs Alfaholic has just said "it's pretty cute" - I'm off to dive down the back of the settee to see if I can rustle up some spare change... |

Really cool looking sightings, Tom! Loved the weirdness of the Citroën and how interesting the Tesla looks with that vinyl wrap, the Smart looks quite…smart, the Honda looks rather nice and the old MG is beautiful!  |

I like the well used 142, Magnette and the Bluebird. The Magnette was the car of choice for stock car racers back in the late 60s to the mid 70s, so many were destroyed. The Bluebird was the first model produced when Nissan built a new factory in the north of England, they became the car of choice for taxi drivers and later on banger racers. They were very well built and super reliable.

Lot of little cars this time! Favorite is going to be the Fiat 500 but fun to see the ultra-quirky and French-again Citroen. Also like the Honda and have never seen the Smart #1! Having owned/driven 2 ForTwos, I've completely lost track of the brand since they left the US about 5 years ago. #1 does look more 'substantial' than past efforts and has that very current Mercedes style tail-light band! Bluebird looks immaculate, another clean, classic and honest design. Really miss that approach  |

Great stuff Alex, my Impala would be right at home there. Actually it would be nice if it were home right now but it's still away, sigh. Anyway love everything especially the drag cars and the dirt tracker. The little Thames panel made me smile, my father had the Anglia sedan version back in about 1961 so I have fond memories of those little cars.

A Russian UAZ 'Bukhanka'. They are still being made, I think- or they were until recently. Very cool.

UAZ 452 but they might have other numeric designation for modern types, by modern meaning the updated 80s version produced nowadays.

It is the very first Russian vehicle that I’ve seen in Mexico!  |
