Hello Michael, I think that is about as good as it gets with the crop I posted.  With its flag-post I suspect the 220S was a former diplomatic car.

Let's see how many guesses it'll take before someone identifies this one............the usual info, make, year & model, please.

 Very interesting and good-looking car.

The second model Mercedes-Benz I rode in as a boy.  As Michael said, a "good-looking car".  I believe DB consulted Carrosserie Herman Graber for a change from its typische  deutsche roots.  Underpowered, but that was Germany recovering from devastation.  When I lived in Stuttgart and visited the factory, I was told it was the last model designed without incorporating designed obsolescence.

Ferrari FF 2012 Blu Tour de France?

Well, that didn't go at all as I expected.............. you are correct - a Ferrari FF it is.

Your turn, Studienkamera.

Thanks, John. My first attempt here, I am sure I will embarrass myself.

Almost there, Hektor... This should clarify it (unless I made a mistake myself in identifying the model):

Seen locally last weekend. My jaw hit the ground when I looked up current prices of these models...

Your turn, Hektor.

Thank-you Studienkamera.  Will do so this evening.  Nice shot of Williamstown.

Seems similar to the price rises for “regular” muscle cars in the US and UK.

I guess guys my age who have made some money now want to buy the cars they couldn’t afford as young men. 

Not exotica - but certainly the price in the UK of Triumph Stags, TR6s,  Ford Capris, Ford Escort RS models etc  - the models that were the aspirational “everyday-but-faster/better/cooler” cars - are now entering serious classic territory and have mightily suffered from poor build/tin worm to leave the remaining “cherished” ones at a premium.

I would guess this Ford Falcon is squarely in that category….

I get your explanation, but as someone with only a remote interest in cars I was very surprised to see a 425,000 Aussie dollar price tag for the car I showed. That's Italian sportscar territory.

That is why I thought it might be an American Le France. I think it was Roger Lucas who drove that on the Beijing to Paris rally. His comment afterwards was never never ever again in a converted fire engine. He subsequently did it again in an ex-works Safari Mercedes 280SL, that we bought from him and did the Transamerica off road Rally in.
