Yep,
SOOOOOOO easy!

Very good memories.
I owned two Fiats.
My first was a 127 and the next was the 125s.
I’m gonna try and dig some pics

My two only Fiats... (and me)

Wow, what's that stuff on top of your head?

 

[Patrick_R]

ROFL
I was going to ask the same thing

What a cool looking dude!

Where were the pics taken Michel?

 

[BenzBoy]

Hmmm - looks like a gun deal being done in Slovakia…..
The cool dude looks like one of your boys Michel.

Guys, guys...

That was me in another life, 40 something years ago.
They were taken in Lebanon where I grew up!

Oh, and thanks for the compliments

You have gotten very handsome with age Michel.

The hair didn’t really suit you anyway

Thanks for sharing these great pics and memories mate.

I’m sure we would all like to see and hear more of Lebanon 40 years ago Michel. I know I would.
Apparently it was the “jewel of the Middle East” and was a number one tourist attraction for the rich and wealthy.

Have a look at this thread when you have time.
I believe the photo bucket pics are still there.

A fantastic read Michel, and the photos are just amazing.

Great selection, of just everything!

This looks very nice, but no manufacture date. Early 60’s?

Nice colour combination!
Good, low mileage example at the upper end of the price bracket.
That would be a fast and smooth vehicle.

Wow that is quick. Those 500's are pretty popular though. They were hugely expensive at the time and they didn't sell many. They also appeal to a very different buyer than the CLK55.

 

[Patrick_R]

I can see why they were popular.
Very nice car

The ultimate in 80s bling, the Trasco 1000SEL.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/273894398841

Despite many assuming it had a 10l engine, the 1000SEL was mechanically a 500SEL, but I think the name came from it being twice as good or something like that.

THis one looks like it was dragged out of one of those abandoned car lots in Dubai. It's pretty rough.

Get out your gold chains and head back to the 80s!

Just the thing for a dog show. Imagine how many puppies I could fit in this monster.
Mind you, just a little rust in the sills and it would sag like sponge.

There is a lot to be said for owner a signal red short wheelbase W126 as your daily driver.

Some interesting cars this week.
The Corona is very good for the price.
