Are there automobile enthusiasts in this community, or rather, classic car enthusiasts who are looking for like-minded people. I would be very happy to meet you.

I'm not much of a gearhead but, damn, that's a pretty automobile.
@jordan_zimmerman do you like MG (photo MGB MK2) or British roadsters in general?
@bertel my Dad had an MG when I was a kid. I just like beautiful things in general.

I'll admit to being one.
@old-bloke OK so you are not that far away from me. I´m in Marvão. Do you like classic cars, or sport cars?
I can appreciate a practical car like the 2CV the same as I do a thing of beauty like a Jaguar E-type, I do have a particular fondness for sports saloons though.
@bertel They were know in the Trade has Mountain Goats because they could go anywhere.
@paulr. Thanks. I Remember the Renault 5, but not the 4. I like those vintage cars but as I cannot do the maintenance myself I will have to just admire them from afar.
@jeanne this cars are very simple build. There are no complicated maintenance works to do. I´m sure that I can teach you this easy works, so you can run a vintage car like this.

In 1969 I bought a new E type convertible for £2069 00 image what is worth now
@bertel I kept the 4.2 MK 11E Type for six months then swapped for an Aston Martin DB5 same as the bond one. Sold that at the time in 1969 for £20.000 . Thought I was doing well. The car today is worth £800,000 Plus .Amazing how things change.
@bertel In the time I was in the Motor Trade I owned most cars in excess of 5000 cars in 45 years. If I had kept some of them , What is now Classics , I would have been very wealthy.However you buy to sell and never get emotional about them. I can remember going to a showroom and they were selling Ferrari Dinos at £6000 brand new!! Loads of Porsches 911 Turbo 911 standard Jensons Intercepter FF too many to mention One car stands out A Audi quattro SWB rally car that was special. Sadly now I do not have a lot of interest in cars. Got the T Shirt so not bothered what I drive.
By the way I also do Photography for the same time I did commercial photography and finished up using PhaseOne IQ3 100mp Digital Medium Format Cameras. Using Schneider Lenses.
Regards Paul
@paulr Phase One was the reason that I left photography. I was forced to change my studio to keep competitive, so I decided to restore cars after that.
@bertel I worked with P1 in the Uk demonstrating their cameras to companies and camera clubs explaining the difference between 35mm and DMF Dynamic range,16 bit colour and resolution . It was to help to share these type of cameras with photographers who would normally not have seen them. I think Fuji are changing DMF due to their prices. P1 seem to be in their own little world . and this could be to their cost. The average price of a IQ4 150 is about £35,000 just for the back plus £6000 for the body and then you start with Blue ring lenses !!!Crazy prices. I have a IQ3 100 and about 9 Schneider lenses. At the moment with CV-19 all photography is stopped. When I go out I use my phone, cannot believe the quality it gets , however this is on the small screen .
