This middle class car was the dream of many better earning workers and employees in communist Poland.

Today, very few cars are in use. The Western world has also made its mark on cars.

A great surprise seen in Tolo, a town in the Peloponnese. I've not seen one of these since february 2013!

FSO 125p in Bonn, Germany.

Probably one of my all time best spots. I had seen a Polish plated FSO a few months prior to this one in the same town, so assumed it could be the same car from a distance, but it wasn't.

MOT history suggests this one has just come back onto the road after a long period off, and may have only done 9000 miles.

LJ is a plate local to the town I saw it in.

A rare sight to see anywhere!

I spotted this amazing concept car at Chopin airport in Warsaw a few days ago. It is a Polish FSO Syrena Sport from the late 1950's. I imagine it is a replica as the only known factory build was eventually destroyed by Soviet intervention. Regardless, this was probably the most beautiful car ever built in Poland during the Soviet era.

My first time spotting a FSO!
