Strange to see 3 ElCamino in Italy...

The one on the left has a California plate: SIC ELKY

The one in the centre has a California plate too: 4W03065

Can someone check the plates on calif smog test? Thanks!

The "Dodge Barreiros" is a (Spanish made) Chrysler 180. :wink:

The Derby is from 1977, only 1977 due the chrome bumper. The colur is "manilagrün".

The colour from the Ford P5 is not original.

There were companies during the 1980's which used to remanufacture Ford Broncos into extended 4-Door versions, using parts from Ford F-Series crew cabs. Some garage near me actually has one in it's lot.

As it seems a quite early one, it's rather "senegalrot" than "marsrot", which came later.
I think, the Audi 50 had completely the VW-colours. In the first half of the 70ies, Audi had mainly other colours than Volkswagen.

Where shall be the sense of it?
http://cgi.ebay.de/Audi-S4-2009-Umbau-Opel-omega-Mv6-Einzelstueck-Scenefzg_W0QQitemZ270560394516

It's an Omega B, modified as an Audi A 4.

Btw.: the reason for the selling is, that the guy has lost his drivers license. "23 Punkte" means that several heavy traffic-offences are listed at the authority. 23 points, this is a lot. It must be an incredible idiot.

Nice photos Antp.

Indeed in Rome there are big problems of parking and Microcars, Ape or smart are a nice solution to find easly a parking!

The 3rd three-wheeler it's a nice "Ape cross" equipped with bull bars and avaible of vivid colors (yellow, red, green, black, etc) the last two are bigger Ape with 250 or 500 cc (insted of 50cc) the first of the two is quite old!

The Fiat wagon it's a 1100 Familiare sadly not in good shape; the Lancia K SW it's a 2.4 JTD year 1996 :smile:

Nice also the Panda Van with its typical black rear, Telecom is now replacing the old Pandas with the new ones :mad:

These photos bring back memories of going to Rome a couple of years ago. I gave up taking photos of Fiat 500s (the original kind) because there were so many. :smile:

Incidentally, the Piaggio Porter is actually based on the Daihatsu Hijet. The tiny minibuses in Rome are electric Tecnobus Gullivers.

On holiday in Italy back in the 1990s I once saw a car transporter loaded with Panda vans for SIP (the old name of what is now Telecom Italia). I also remember seeing old lorries (probably Fiats and OMs) in the Alps, which were right hand drive so that drivers could see how close they were to the edges of narrow mountain roads.

Thanks for the comments, Neon & Gag Halfrunt.

I was surprised to not see so many original Fiat 500/600 actually. Even the 90's cinquecento. But lots of 90's seicento, and the latest 500.

I wondered if these busses were electric or gas-powered, as they were not completely silent like the Prius when it runs on battery for example.

What is the model of the red Fiat taxi ? I forgot to check the badge on it, and I did not make a photo of the rear.
