1971+ Fiat 124 Special/Special T. There is also a 1971+ 125 special in front of it. |

And a cl82/dsl-car hidden by the guy? The glimpse of the front edge looks Marina-ish. |

It's same Marina of this film. |

I'm happy for Marinas to become cl82-cars. But will he look after them? |

Maybe he will even let his shitty Fiesta crushing and will turn to the Rootes. Otherwise it's a really serious problem here in Germany, to find ANY Rootes-car. Even the late step-brothers from Chrysler-Simca are absolutely and totally disappeared here. |

It's not very likely that I'll return to the Rootes for a while. I gave the surprisingly not so shitty Fiesta (astonishingly, it was built in Cologne according to the VIN and not in Spain as I had presumed earlier)to my brother in late December and then I returned to Tübingen where I'm currently living rather happily as a cyclist (although I don't have a ponytail) and pedestrian. As long as I live there (which will be at least another 1 1/2 or even two years) I won't even think of buying another car because owning a vehicle here is hell. And as far as Rootes/Chrysler Europe cars concerned you're right, Ingo. I have to admit that I've never seen a Rootes or Chrysler UK-car "in the flesh" so far, only a couple of French ones when I was a kid in the late 80s; most of them were Talbot Horizons. And there was the grandfather of a guy I used to know who had a Tagora until the early 90s. Besides, IIRC, an uncle of mine had a light green Simca 1301 or 1501 when I was four or five years old- and even that car was on its last legs. He dumped it for an also light green BMW E12 quite quickly. |

Should be resarched, if there was ever any remarkable import of Rootes-cars to Germany. Quite for sure there were never any exclusive-Rootes-dealerships. AS it seems, they were available on special request at Simca- and later Chrysler-Simca dealers. The Rootes-car with the most advertising in Germany was the 1977 Chrysler Sunbeam, as far as I can remember. -- Last edit: 2013-03-27 20:13:56 |
