Classics & Retros on Madeira Dez

I love Madeira and also visit regularly. I think I recognise some of those pics as being along Estrada monumental I was also surprised by the amount of stuff. Can't find my Pics right now, but the trends I noticed most were- Hot hatches, particularly French, mostly in a sort of rally spec given the roads. Missed rally madeira by a day the first time we went Old mercs. Everywhere. Including all the taxis. Strange short wheelbase old Volvo busses- look like they've been shortened, but I guess they have to be like that for the mountain roads. Trayback pickups with wooden beds. Especially bedfords made well after Bedford stopped existing as a brand here.

Even the flat tracker/cafe racer scene has reached here Turns out that tonight at 9pm is the start of the Rally Madeira on the harbour front, hence the cars with numbers on the doors in earlier pics. More to follow....

This is just a selection of what was involved. The Datsun pick up looked ace & he was givin it large on the islands 😀 The Intergrale was the dogs, as were the two mk1 ‘squirts’. The Matt black mk2 had a N/A Cossie lump in, not a cheap conversion. Some right nice gear on show
