Car travel document from Catalonia

Renault 4 Fourgonnette ready for use with roof rack and trailer hitch.

I am in France quite a lot, – the French side of Catalonia towards Spain.

I speed around by car or bicycle along the beautiful landscape consisting of orchards, vineyards, forest, beach and mountains, - and all the villages. In the Nordic countries, we have a tradition of building our houses spread out. Here they built densely. In villages, many streets are often completely unsuitable for cars.

I take pictures when I come across something special. Truth be told, exclusive vehicles are closer elsewhere in France than right here. The advantage here, however, is that the cars never rust. This makes it possible to find older cars that have long since disappeared elsewhere.

Here is a photo series of special cars and their beautiful surroundings.

The minis down here have different dashboards. I think they are manufactured on the continent somewhere. Check out the great rims!
It's class above Mini's like this.
This Euro mini is easy to find in Perpignan's inner city.
The dealer should have 3800 Euros for this great Renault 4 with 157 km on the odometer.
Also bring this Renault in my neighborhood. Every street corner is beautified by having a Renault 4 parked.
Renault Twingo turns 25 this year. Many are still on the road and have covered several hundred thousand km. You actually have to put a lot of money on the table to secure a Twingo 1 in such good condition as this one.
I'm guessing that this Peugeot 504 pickup has received a refurbishment at one point or another in its life. The pickups were produced several years after the production of passenger cars was discontinued.
A car for presidents. The Citrö C6 is a rare sight in the popular towns here in the South of France.
These donnings swept past at high speed with camouflage foil. In the autumn, they appear without disguise as – Mercedes-Benz X-class!
Kite surfing on the Costa Brava.
Fun camper with Pilote superstructure on Ford Transit from around 1980. Great wheel covers!
