Re: Spotted on the Road: Riley 1969 Saloon
I'm disappointed you never spotted the Motorbike used by Hagrid in Harry Potter. Sections filmed in Liverpool and in the underwater Mersey Tunnel.

A Royal Enfield model called the Bullet Classic. I should never have doubted your eye for a classic like this !

Re: Spotted on the Road in Sweden
Rather than a true kit car this may be a re-body of a production car. In some ways it resembles a Fiat 500 or 600 from the 1960s. Many companies made replacement bodies for these and other small cars. This could also be a modified Fiat Jolly body sans windshield and roof. The Jollys were Ghia re-bodies of Fiat 500s and 600s.. Many other coachwork builders also supplied after-market bodies. This is one that I haven't seen before.

You're right (of course) it bears a close resemblance to the Abarth 600 which was the Racing version of the Fiat 600.

And virtually indestructible too. You had to drive the "deux chevaux" pretty hard to achieve a decent speed, but it achieved it well ! Its popularity peaked in the 60's when it was it was sold at half the price of a VW Beetle. Assembled in 12 countries across the world to meet demand. It once had a 5 year waiting list for new cars and used models were more expensive than new !

Spotted on the Road, Berlin: 13-person-power bus-bike
Not a car or truck this time, but a sort of bus: a 12-passenger+"driver" bicycle with 13 sets of pedals to keep it going. The more get on, the more powerful (and perhaps faster) it gets. We saw several other versions of multi-passenger...

Spotted on the Road, Brooklyn: 1962 Plymouth Fury
Here's a car that hasn't gotten much respect. And that goes beyond its current "ready for restoration" condition; even when it was new it drew a lot of snorts and mockery. Laurence Jones of Curbside Classics...

Spotted on the Road: Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, France
The cult favorite of many (I'm one), the Citroen 2CV was a true "people's car," designed to bring mobility to rural families. Designed before World War II, and with its heyday after, millions were sold.

Re: Spotted on the Road ... 1950s Mercedes 220
When I lived in Heidelberg (1959-61) two of our American neighbors had bought 220s. I was almost embarrassed when our 1958 Plymouth (yellow-and-white two-tone!) was parked near them.
