Discovery in Cyprus

[Robert]

Greetings to all from Cyprus - looks like one well known expatriate from this island has temporarily gone out of business

Or Maybe it is in the fit out stage.

Maybe we should all buy it and turn it into a 'Mirafiori Themed Restaurant'

Mirafiori Seating S2 Velour in Reception. Various parts on the wall. Replica lights as plates. Sport Gear Knobs for the Sauces.

Various well known dishes with Mirafiori Names. Spagetti Panaroma, Steak Sport!

Is that the one in Paphos? (I'm sure there are a lot of "Theo's Restaurants" in Cyprus).
But the one in Paphos by the harbour was very good and I've eaten there several times (http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g190384-d1143620-r33795026-Theo_s-Paphos.html).

Well spotted Mr Kyriakou, that's the one in Paphos

Another interesting find, spotted a classic car that's hard to find in this condition. Talked to the owner, he's had her for 27 years now, bought her when she was four years old, keeps her garaged most of the time, she's never seen any rain in her life. He's very proud of owning this pristine car, his daily driver is a 164. The color is a little strange (at home this would be a taxi color), but original. Only downside: she's got the steering wheel on the wrong side  . See for yourself:

They are quite popular is Cyprus and of course almost all of them have the steering wheel on the correct side of the car  

I took pictures (with my phone so excuse the poor quality) of this lovely one in Larnaca.

Discovery in North London
Unfortunately no 131 parts, just vegetables....  
Anyone for Panorama Parsnips or Sport Sprouts?

Lovely Car the GTV. As for the steering wheel. RHD with a Manual Box always feel better . However it some how feels more natural to drive on the right, don't ask me why .

I sold my 1999 Metallic Green 318i SE in 2002 to a Cypriot Car Dealer in Manchester who exported cars to Cyprus  . The car had 90k Miles on the clock and looked and felt like it had done 30k  . Do many cars get exported to Cyprus from the UK  .

The car had 90k Miles on the clock and looked and felt like it had done 30k  . Do many cars get exported to Cyprus from the UK  .

So it would have had 29,000 on the clock when sold in Cyprus....

Most probably ; it was a real minter and looked like a 30k Miles Car  The current one that I've had since new with 65K Miles could easily pass for 120K Miles
