North Africa was a classic-spotter's geeky dream. And you have to love their pimping efforts! This stuff is mostly rubbish of course, but so nostalgic! And if you happen to need any spare parts... All across there were a wealth of old Peugeots - 304s, 305s, 404s (especially the pick-up), 504s, 505s, even a couple of 604s... Towards the west, Renaults were also common, with lots of 12s around, and a few 18s. I suppose I should mention the 4s and 5s too, although they don't seem so rare yet. I saw one 16 and a couple of 20s as well. Further east, Fiat took up the challenge. 131s and 132s everywhere, plus an assortment of the smaller models, dating back as far as the 1300. This Strada was one of a handful we saw. A couple of 127s made an appearance too.
