Tom, you have kicked off this thread in the best possible way - 3 glorious Alfas, and all would be welcome here. The Brera is gorgeous. The others in your post are up to the usual eclectic selection with too many gems to highlight - the 605 and XM cousins stand put though. I'm wondering if Julio's Valiant was painted that colour to try and hide the rust - I don't think it worked. That smell you have noticed is from all the traditional MG owners burning their flat-caps in disgust upon seeing this monstrosity. Those Valiants seem indestructible and I know their slant 6 engines are, but rust was a common problem of many cars of that era, particularly Chrysler Corporation cars! Those MGs are a disgrace to their once proud name! The Mercury looks fantastic. I wonder if the Plymouth is waiting for restoration or just slowly dissolving... The MG EV crossover seems to be selling very well here. The Chinese apparently don't care about heritage, they've bought a marketable badge. The posted car is a good example. I’ve seen the Mercury driving around the area and seems quite solid and healthy! I doubt that the Valiant will be restored, my guess is that it’ll soon vanish… MGs are selling decently here too, although the name isn’t known except by older people and old car nuts.

Builder I work with US toy That looks menacingly sexy! Super mint..not a mark on it. He went to the states and cherry picked it, also drove it to Hennessey to get a supercharger installed but as was coming to NZ they wouldn't warranty it so he just got air filters and ECU tweaks instead...2015 with under 6,000 miles on the clock...he has a lot of bikes too (triumph/harleys) but bikes not my thing.

The Merc and the Bel Air are all that and a bag of chips! Indeed! I saw this one yesterday! An unusual sight around here, because Mercedes were not available in Mexico from the early 60s up to the late 90s.

That Australian Falcon looks fantastic, Jamie! Its side view reminds me of larger American Fords and Mercurys! Thanks, Tom, I agree!
