Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Peter_L]

We haven't travelled there yet but have friends who have.

It is a "pickers" paradise and at first glance one may think a great source of older, classic cars.
There is however something about these cars that is not obvious to the casual observer. A great many of them are far removed from original and would fail today's testing standards by just viewing them across the street let alone on a ramp.

This is not to say there are not some bargains but perhaps only for those with knowledge.

This could very well be the last decade for many of them as I am sure increased tourism, industry and wealth will change Cuba.

I remember Clarkson doing an interesting programme about motoring in Cuba. Brake fluid made from hair shampoo, is one ingenious implementation that I recall.
