Despite the mandatory oil leak this seems a nice thing.
If I had the money I would be very tempted

A woman holding a small brown dog engages with an elderly woman seated in a bright red vintage car. The car features chrome accents and a side mirror. They are on a street, with other cars visible in the background.

A bit of UK Barn find action for everyone.
For once seems to involve an actual barn!
Incredible that the 100 plus year old Talbot survived 40 years in there!

Stumbled across this 1965 review of the new #Renault 16.
In which we learn about 18 seconds to 100kmh is perfectly acceptable performance for a family car, you can get a lot of suitcases in an R16, it's a bit #French, and reviewers back then were very committed. So much so that I am not sure I would have wanted to have bought that particular R16!

Here's a Pathe News story about a quick respray service where for 21 Guineas you could have your 60's car painted any colour your in a day!
Safe to say I have concerns about the long-term prospects for your shiny new paint job!
This film is very of its era, I believe the tone would be very different if this was made today!

Some great photos by @ObsidianUrbex here for #WeirdCarMastodon folks.
Kind of sad that some of those cars were lost to enthusiasts 😢

Saw this parked up in the street this morning. Until I saw the #Holden badge I thought it was an odd Vauxhall, which I suppose it might well share some DNA with. The UK plate on this is early 60s, would this be closely related to an early Viva?
#WeirdCarMastodon #Vauxhall #ClassicCars #OldTimerCars

Front 3/4 view of a metallic beige or fawn Holden Special parked in the street and in very good condition.

Amazing the things people do for love and remembrance, it seems this old dealer showroom and cars were preserved as a sort memorial to the last owner by his widow.

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge it's something blue and generally desirable.
Can you name it from this bit of wing?

View of the top of the wing and part of the bonnet of a pale metallic blue car.
The windscreen has a chrome surround an the mirror on the passanger door is quite square and chrome backed.
It seems both of the wipers park well over to the passanger side.

For today's #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have something a little bit older than the TVR which was last vehicle. It's big, it's black but can you name it from this unusual view of the wing?
This one is definitely a Classic Car!

View of the wing and fender of an older style car, viewed from the left hand front door looking forwards. .
The car is black witn significant chrome work along sides and around a wheel shape. A wing mirror with along arm is visible as is an old sytle headlamp on a stalk. A period AA badge is below the headlamp. A bonnet adornment is partial visible,it appears to have spread wings.

Side view of the front of a black ore-war car. There is a large chrome grille with horizontal bars, a chrome bumper with period driving lamps. The headlamp is a pod attached to the side of the car, it also has chrome trim.

So #WeirdCarMastodon folks after an unscheduled break, for which I can only apologise, it's the return of the #NameThatCar challenge.

Today's images are I think very distinctive, I suspect one would need to know their American cars, to be able to get it.

The rear light cluster of a period American car. The lights are arranged as three individual lamps each with a chrome surround. The lamps are very pointy. There is a big chrome bumper below the lights and thick chrome strip around the rear panel. A little piece of bodywork is visible it is mainly marine blue with a white stripe. There are chrome strips either side of the white stripe. The car appears to have a boot/trunk.

The door mirror on a car with blue bodywork, viewed from the back of the mirror. The mirror has a distinctive chrome three armed support that holds the mirror glass in place.

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge is a car that I like the look of, but have never really desired, despite owning its siblings! I would like to drive one sometime! The image with its odd vents made a few folks to think "rear-engined" whereas it is in fact Triumph's pocket homage to the E-Type, the #Triumph #GT6 MKIII. The vents are either cabin air or just decoration!
Well done if you got it right!

Front 3/4 view of a purple Triumph GT6 MK3. It is parked in a field amongst other classic cars.

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge something very different to a Mondeo!
As ever can you name it from this image of a slopy side?

The side rear of a red car with a sloping roof. There is a grille or vent behind the window. The part of the side visible has a curved rear edge and push to open (slightly) catch for ventilation.

For our next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we have a cat that was once a mainstream staple.
While earlier generations of this car could be found all over the world this version less so. Still it's a strong design and might yet be a classic!

Rear right hand corner light cluster of a silver car. The lights have a triangular shape with round inset elements.

Turning to our outstanding #NameThatCar challenge. This one attracted a couple of left field responses, sadly I must disappoint and say it is not a Maxi 😲 , or even an American version of one!
The car is a many of you figured out a Dodge Charger, I am not sure what the British version would be, perhaps a Vauxhall Magnum?
Thanks for all the guesses, well done if you got it right!
#WeirdCarMastodon #ClassicCars #OldTimerCars #DodgeCharger #Dodge #AmercianCars #Amerciana

View of teh front of a late 60's Dodge Charger. The bonnet is open revealing the engine, the large carburettor is clearly visible.
Te Charger nameplate is visible on the left-hand side of the vehicle, on the front grille. The car is a metallic gold colour.

Side view of a Dodge Charger. The car is gold coloured with a white roof. An American car magazine is visible in the front window.

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge after the success of yesterdays mirror image, here is another similar looking door mirror, but a very different car!

Right-hand side of a light metallic brown car. The bonnet is open, showing a large bonnet spring and hinge mechanism. The car has a large door with a round chrome door mirror and chrome handle. The A-Pillar appears to be white, suggesting a white roof. The car is evidently left-hand-drive. A light coloured interior is partial visible, on the dashboard is a magazine, the word American is visible, the rest of the cover is coloured out red to hide the text!

The answer to the outstanding #NameThatCar challenge is a car that would have been an object of desire in my youth, affordable performance compared to a hot hatch.
It is a #Ford #Escort MK1 #Mexico which I spotted for sale at a petrol station for £32k, isn't even an original Mexico.
Kudos to @philturpin who explained the difference between a Mexico and an RS, stripe positioning! Thanks for the guesses, well done if you got it right.
#WeirdCarMastodon #ClassicCars #OldTimerCars #FordEscortMexico

Slightly off-set view of the front of a white Ford Escort MK1 Mexico. The word Ford is visible across the front edge of the bonnet. Cut away chrome bumpers, a flared front wheel arch and signature stripe are partially visible.

For the next #WeirdCarMastodon #NameThatCar challenge we here is something to reflect on... See what I did there!
Can you name it from this image? I should say I don't belive these were sold in North America but versions of it were offered in a number of established global markets and famously this car did get to other parts of the Americas.
