Here's an idea for a thread. What is the oddest combination of old tin you have caught on a single picture? Double bonus points are awarded for cars that share the same owner, garage or family. Triple bonus points are awarded if you have an interesting story to share how it all came about. To get the ball rolling here's my humble addition:  This pic shows the contents of a little lock-up I've rented with my Dad: his Unimog and my Spitfire. My Dad was always the one who wanted to get an old car to cherish, but never got around to it. He provided for the family, built a house... you know the drill. Watching me rebuild that Spitfire prompted him to finally treat himself to his dream car. The combination of these two regularly causes a bit of a stir. Kids like the Spitfire, but they simply LOVE the Unimog. It's always fun to park these two beside each other and watch pedestrians pass by. Everybody seems to find something they like about one or the other or simply raises a smile about the comical size-difference. So. If this idea floats your boat feel free to share! |

Not quite as extreme as yours, but i've got a similar odd couple;  Variety is the spice of life n' all that! |

I briefly owned a manta and a capri at the same time, something some ford / vauxhall purists couldn't understand   |

Sorry, not 100% retro.. Little & large edition. These 2 made me laugh, parked next to each other at work  Owned both of these at once (van & BMW)  Taken at Chatsworth House Rally Day:  |

This pair made me smile, still does in fact. Spotted randomly on the way to see a moving picture.  At a car show, yes, but I'm unlikely to get such a sleekly designed car as the Calibra pictured next to a very upright Austin any time soon.  |

No pictures of the two together as yet I'm afraid, but we own a 1979 Toyota Cressida which is slightly modified, and an original very ratty 1956 Citroen H van.

I don't know as it's a particularly odd combination, but I have a vehicle for most occasions;  Maverick for towing, bad weather and work, 400E for general carrying of work stuff, Benz for ferrying kids about and Vitesse for general hooning! |

Not as old as some. But my Imp and jojo1 share a garage somewhere in the UK to hide out Uber cool rotary powered Retro cars. Could probably be called classics now they are that old!  Not the best picture, but you get the idea. |
