1968 Opel calender - Park Avenue, Manhattan, New York.

 

I'm actually not really sure about this one. Although this photo comes from the 1968 Opel calander, and one could expect that cars shown are the ones for the '68 model year, this Kadett might be a 1967 model for the Americas. US bound Kadetts, sold by Buick, received the European Olympia front end treatment in '68. This one still has the traditional Euro Kadett front end.

 

See where this picture was taken. [?]

April 6, 1968 - Rauhanpatsas / Statue of Peace, Kaivopuiston ranta, Helsinki?, (Finland). "Inscribed in Finnish, Swedish & Russian: "Tämän rauhanpatsaan pystytti Suomen kansa rauhanomaisen rinnakkaiselon ja Suomen ja Neuvostoliiton ystävyyden vertauskuvaksi 6.4.1968 / This statue of peace was erected by the people of Finland as a symbol of the peaceful coexistence and friendship of Finland & the Soviet Union; April 6, 1968."

 

Sculptor Essi Renvall [1911-1979] has said that the statue's female figure is the spirit of peace returning after a war with a new, peaceful heart. The bronze work is 5.35 metres high & its red granite pedestal 3 metres high." Information courtesy of Lila Koivisto 21Nov13

1968 Lotus Elan +2.

 

Fitted with a 1988cc engine according to the DVLA (probably a Ford Zetec).

I was amazed to see this and even more amazed to find out that it was taxed until last March!

It had covered 55,800 miles at it's last MOT in 2013, and had covered only 2,000 between then and 2006.

Same owner since 2002.

I don't ever recall seeing this at a show. Though it's grotty and pretty rusty the wheels look surprisingly clean.
