    Thought this was interesting... Both were originally identical BMW 326s, the owner of the blue one worked really hard to only use OE replacement parts... But unfortunately for the car, they were OE parts from soviet cars











    In the end, the only remaining original factory part on the whole vehicle was the BMW badge!







    There was the remains of an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500



    A crashed Rolls Royce Silver Shadow



    Was impressed by the condition and depth of the paint on this Mini, although it was let down by the condition of the wheels.









    And the "piece de resistance"... The 1938, 6 Litre, V16, 800kg, 340 km/h, Auto Union Typ C/D





    Not the most economical car with a 60 Litres per 100 km consumption, but could you imagine being in 1938 and seeing, hearing, or driving this thing?!

    A few other very impressive machines:

    A VW dragster



    And a twin gas turbine engined racer
