	Hello guys WARNING: photo heavy thread! Its been a while but we're back with some pics from an amazing museum/showroom/workshop called Classic Remise in Berlin. Miss Ragtop and I went for a long weekend in the city a few weeks ago. She'd found their website online before we went so we braved a wet cold grey Berlin day and went a searchin'..... Here's only some of what we found!! I was in Heaven!! Ha ha www.remise.de/Classic-Remise-Meilenwerk-Berlin-english-summary.php We had been searching for a while and were beginning to get wet and cold but then stumbled across these beautifully clean, original examples of some classic french tin and knew we must be in the right area! Cute Mk 1 Renault 5 Early 403 maybe? And to top it off (If you'll pardon the pun)... this! Now when was the last time you saw one of these?! lol We then found the old tram shed that housed the workshops etc and dived inside out of the rain... What an Aladdin's cave Pristine Cobra What can you say...?! lol This full scale model Stratos update was insane! Lovely Cheesy Citroen van he he From one beautiful Maserati... ...To another beautiful Citroen! Found this gorgeous lil Renault 4 in one of the workshops... Love the 2 piece steelies! Stately Early merc cabriolet These can seen hurtling around the screen as police cars in the original Italian Job iirc... Alfa 1800 0r 2000 maybe? Beautiful example of the car that started the fwd revolution, the Citroen Traction Avant... sparkling Peugeot 104 Lancia did make some very pretty cars didn't they? There were the occasional big beasts in amongst the european metal, like this moody Barracuda... me likey! And this stunning blue mustang... And then there was this truly unique mustang estate! The only one in existence... get to tesco's and back in style... And outside was this... ... With its evil hot rod brother! he he Nice twist on a stretch limo... And a big ole Cadillac tank to finish the US section he he Now this is one of the earliest Maybachs known about... Talk about regal!! anyone for a Jaw dropping Merc including ragtop (my favourite!) lol ... look at the shine! Shark grey, shark faced BMW! Not seen one of these Opels before, but I like... Now what's this then?... Oh of course, its some sort of amii fastback on hydraulic suspension I do believe... The history on the windscreen said that the handful of prototypes that were trialled were so successful that the testers didn't want to give them back... who knows why they didn't produce it? very cute That's it for part one but here's a hint of part 2... he he Thankyou for stopping by and reading this. All feedback welcome and I hope you enjoyed it. Part 2 coming soon, keep 'em peeled! TTFN Ragtop Gent

	Didn't they find a whole bunch of prototype stuff like that Ami stored somewhere? I seem to recall an article on RR about it but can't remember anything really truly specific, because my brain is useless right now. A nice selection of stuff I find genuinely interesting, I look forward to part 2

	haha, I wonder if every Classic Remise/Meilenwerk site has to have a 600 in storage somewhere? Great places aren't they? The one I went to in Dusseldorf had a H van too, serving up sausage and coffee. There's a full article on the one I visited in Retrocars magazine soon ;D Similar to yours too

	Really excellent pictures - they have some fabulous cars there! Thanks for posting them. Jan 6, 2012 20:44:01 GMT ragtopgent said: Early 403 maybe? That's a late 504 GL, from the mid to late 1970s. My dad had the TI version with the same interior and in a similar (but metallic) blue with a black stripe down the side. It was wonderful, the TI getting the then unusual feature of electric front windows. I wonder what kind of Maserati this is. It looks like a Mexico ...but isn't! This photo shows just how amazingly low the standard XJ-S is for a standard production car.

The 504 was probably the last of the 'quality' Peugeots....I had three in the late 80's (a '79 1800GL, a '78 2-litre Automatique and a '78 Ti like this one only in metallic gold) and all of them would have given a W123 Benz a run for its money in the fixtures/fittings/finish department. Fabulous handling thanks to independent suspension all round, and running gear that just went forever. No wonder they were still producing them in Argentina until 1999 and Nigeria and Kenya until just six years ago.

	So here we are with part 2 of Classic Remise - enjoy! A lovely lil 356 roadster As if a Diablo in standard wasn't savage enough, they decided to go and make a GT version, just to spice things up! lol I have never seen so many pristine merc 300's in one place, both soft and hardtops! Here's the teaser... ...and here's the reveal Aston DB2... yummy! or in red if sir/madam prefers? wonderfully pure AC just begging to be bought... Great to see some brit metal represented amongst the euro cars My dad had one of these back in the day... ...And he had one of these too! But he certainly never had one of these though! ha ha not sure what it is though... any ideas? This one of the prettiest BMWs i've ever seen, i'd like one please! Ha! From behind it reminds me a bit of the P1800 'Saint' Volvo Hardtop or softtop, either way they're lovely aren't they? Very cute little Lancia Saw the prototype model in part 1, here are the originals! he he one in subtle 'Dynarod' orange... ...And in its natural guise... Rally rocket! Look at that chin spoiler How's this for 2+2 touring in style?, I wanted to take this home soooo bad... Love getting a DS topless...oo er! This is one of the most elegantly designed and proportioned cars ever, in my humble opinion. Mid engined magic!... could sit and oogle this all day! Now if you like 'em rare, try this... 1 of less than 20 factory made! Lambo Muira Jura, i think... And this has been modernised underneath with big discs all round and suspension upgrades so you can go racing in her! Fantastic interior and i love the mean bumperless look too... And this lovely lil buzzbox was Miss Ragtop's favourite of the day... So, how about some automotive fixtures and fittings for your house? he he Check these out... Sofa not quite muscular enough for you?.. we got it covered! lol Or perhaps a Harley fridge is more to your taste?... he he And how about silly power, luxury fittings but no wheels... you'll be wanting a 5 litre V8 handbuilt speedboat then.... That's about it from us, hope there's been something of interest for everyone If you go anywhere near these places you must visit them lol Keep you smiling for a long time after. Won't leave it so long til next post either Thanks once again for stopping by and reading, happy cruising... TTFN Ragtop Gent

	This is an excellent picture. If she hasn't already, Miss Ragtop should get one of those in her life.
