Antique & Classic Cars Blog

Thought folks might be interested in seeing how another half lives. My friend Mark was in Burma, where he snapped some of the odd and unlikely classics that have ended up there. They include this lineup of 1960s Mazda B360 pickup trucks. Probably get a good deal here–though shipping from other side of world extra.

This Benz looks like a W120 from the 1950s. Sharp car. (Guess I could have cropped Mark out, but that wouldn’t be nice, would it? “Thanks for the photos but, er, stay out of the shot, would you? We’re running a blog here.”)

Porsche 944 made it to Burma, though not clear if it’s a runner. The boy is Mark’s son and the green 4×4(?) is not something I recognize. Anybody know it?

These Willys Jeeps are likely war cast-offs. Not sure why one photo is black and white–artistic flair?–but it’s the same lineup, as zooming in on a higher-res version confirms.

And Mini Mokes are on-road/off-road fun in many countries stretching from England to Australia. I rented one Down Under in the ’80s. They’re about half go-kart, half Jeep.

**This line is from a Monty Python sketch. Can you name it?
