The Honda is a Civic, built at Swindon and having parts in common with the Rover 400/45.
The coupé is an Aston Martin DBS V8 (or simply V8), 1969+. I'm not surprised you didn't recognise it, they only built four thousand-odd in twenty years.

Wow I did not know it was something as rare as that :grin:
It has an old dutch plate. Too bad it was raining, the pic taken with a cellphone through the wet car window does not give a good result.

Does anybody remember when I mentioned the front-engined Corvair I saw back in November 2009?:

Well there were other cars there on that day, and this oddball 1930's Packard was among them.

There was also a nice 1973 Chevrolet El Camino Laguna SS. I've never really been a fan of 1973-77 mid-sized GM's but you have to admit this one's a keeper.

Take a look at this 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2. Nothing to brag about, right?

Oh, but there is.

A rare model with the shift on the steering column. I'm sorry I never got a picture of that.

Here's a row of Ford Model A's. I've got plenty of others from this show, and another one.

I saw a 1982 Citoren Dyane today. Very unusual.

Yesterday, I saw a Maserati Granturismo. Makes some noise!

I know it's not an unusual model but I'd assume the spec is rare. Audi A3 Sportback 3.2 V6. It was a police traffic car that pulled over another car.

A couple of decent Pontiacs at the November 5, 2009 car show. Three images of a 1938 Pontiac Straight Six at the link below:

And an image of a 1936 Pontiac on this page.

I've posted so many cars from this one show, that there's no point of me starting a whole thread. So I decied to post the last four images from the last two vehicles in that November 2009, car show.

A 1941 Buick Eight(I forget whether or not it was a Straight 8).

And a link to three of a gorgeous 1960 Plymouth Fury:

Smaller than the images of the '38 Pontiac Straight six, but still kind of big for this thread.

saw a green Subaru SVX (no pic), it is at least the 3rd different one that I see in Brussels :smile: (others were a white and a black, IIRC)

I do not have info on the "why" or "what" it is :grin:

Hmmm, am I confused now, or didn't we have a pic of this "monument" somewhere in the database? :confused: I know, that we have talked about that, quite a while ago. Three US police-cars (faked or not) sitting on one civil car. Yes, we had it somewhere before - but I'm sure, it was not shot in Liège!

The similar sculpture you people are referring to must be this:

Yes, thanks! My favourite colour is white but also grey it's still nice!

As Ingo said "Three US police-cars (faked or not) sitting on one civil car." I guess he means something very lookalike this, not just a pile of any cars.
That indeed reminds me vaguely something.

Found more info:

http://www.bip2010.be/fr/index.php?titre=liege&idlieu=15&part=artistes&artiste=1- 0
but here the cars are different :figti:
Note the Opel grille on the bottom car
same as the ones on my photo:
http://www.dhnet.be/regions/liege/article/290640/un-tas-de-voitures.html
It looks like they had to reinforce the cars (and replace the most crushed one)

on that other page:
http://www.bip-liege.org/fr/index.php?titre=liege&idlieu=15
they say it is there until end of April.

here the bottom car still had its grille :grin:
