Sweet looking bug with white walls. Not sure what the alien machine was. [nt]

Spotted: Vintage foreign cars
First, a pair of Alfas (Alfettas?) This one is mounted on DUBS wheels (small ones) but it still gives the Alfa a curious stance. Here's an older version of the same model. These are quite rare in the US and I don't know much about them. A Volvo 122 Wagon....
The white...
vehicle looks like a off-terrain vehicle, like a sand dune buggy of some sort.
The GTVs :)
Wonderfully complex construction with a transaxle gearbox, inboard discs for the rear brakes, add poor rust protection and a poor spare parts situation... But quite nice to drive. The first one is a V6 (raised bonnet) and reasonably lively for the period....
The Alfa GTV6s either 2.5 or 3lt versions from SA
If I remember correctly, the 3lt engines were Callaways. The most powerful of the GTVs in its day...
The Volvo, the Alfa ( the older one, or the later one but with original rims ) and the
Beetle, of course! From time to time, we have the opportunity to see some very nice vintage cars, in Paris, as well. Thanks for this morning pleasure, my friend. Nicolas
