My intention is to make sure I have my camera with me when I am out and about where I will see plenty of old classics, or jalopies as they are sometimes called.

Would that be a Mk 1 Escort? If so, they are three a penny here.

the Standard Ensign Estate was in the Malta Aviation Museum.

Traditional buses now becoming a rare sight as Barry has recently confirmed.
Took these last year. There are many older cars in daily use by the looks of things (at least when we were ther in April last year) The Hillman Hunter was in a car park in Mdina and the Standard Ensign Estate was in the Malta Aviation Museum.

The Hunter never had that grille arrangement in the UK, I'm sure. Or rectangular headlamps? Built under licence somewhere?

Why would anyone want to use M+S tyres in Malta ?

Australia?Turkey or Iran?

Australia?
The later Australian Hillman Hunters (72/73?) had rectangular headlights and I think that grille too.

That's a real shame. They added a lot of character to the place. Not sure the bin will be missed so muchThose wonderful old buses are gone now, sadly. Arriva have taken over the bus service so the streets look like many of those in the U.K.
I think that rubbish bin has gone, too!

I make no apologies for starting another thread from my new home island. The other thread is a motor sport one whereas, on this thread, it is my intention to post images of some of the cars that are still being used by their owners on this small island.
Both of these first two were photographed this morning within 100 yards of my apartment.

I've just noticed the registration plate. Presumably it's a 1946 RoverI make no apologies for starting another thread from my new home island.

Barry,
This is a cheeky request - but if you can help I'd be really grateful. The rhd 1965 Alfa GTA I have owned and raced for the last 12 years (and which will be racing at Silverstone this weekend) was in Malta virtually all its life until 1988 when it was sold to England.
The owner in Malta was a Mr Leonard Calleja living at 'Topaz', Garden Street, The Gardens, St Julien. I have had no response to letters and I do not know if he still lives there (or indeed is still with us). The registration was T 7751, and allegedly the car was sprinted or drag-raced with a t/c Lotus engine installed.
With your contacts among the older-car fraternity, can you ask around to see if anyone knows of Mr Calleja, or of the car itself. I would be most grateful, and even more so if anyone has any photos.
Nick

Driving down the highway looking at a girls arse.And how about the bonnet adornment on that Opel Olympia Caravan? Yes, Caravan - that's what it says on the back.

It's German usage, the same as the VW "Car-a-van" . Simply an estate car that could function as a car or as a van in accordance with the owner's wishes (remember this was before they invented the hatchback). Our grocer in Nairobi used an Opel like that one for his deliveries.And how about the bonnet adornment on that Opel Olympia Caravan? Yes, Caravan - that's what it says on the back.
