Home again to Thailand and a refresher on all the classic cars to admire. In the village here we have several 1960 ish Fiat 1500's of the "pagoda" variety, a few Fiat 124's, a four door Escort Mk1 and a mid sixties Alfa GTV (how fragile are they!). In the local town the star turn has to be a Citroen CX Prestige complete with high roof, long wheelbase and division. Also to be seen is a BMC 100/1300 and a couple of Allegro's plus a selection of Mk 3 Cortina's. On the way in from the airport a mk 1 Capri.
I have seen ONE P6 in Thailand, an almond yellow 3500S in the resort town of Pattaya. Looking forward to the day my 4600SE will be joining it. We'll be able to have a club meet then!
There's a close relative of the P6 in our local town, a '63(?) Buick Special with the GM antecedent of the Rover Alumium V8.
In Bangkok you see all sorts if you keep your eyes open. There's a good selection of exotica - mainly Ferraris - right down to '52 Hillman Minx phase 1 and Standard Flying 8 Convertible.
As you can see from the above there's no shortage of technical expertise to keep more or less anything going!
Any other foreign correspondents out there with local classic car collections?
