Trevor,
When we were in poland in May we went on the 'Communism Tour' centred in Nova Huta - Model city built outside Krakow - steel works, school, parks etc and a cinema (now a Tesco Store!) We were driven around in a Trabant, truly a most unpleasant vehicle to ride in or drive - makes a Reliant Regal seem like a rolls Royce!
Here in France there are still older cars around - Renault 4, Renault 5, Peugeot 405, Deux Chevaux and the odd Citroen DS. I guess they have survived because here in SW France they don't use salt on the road. Good for the cars but with the recent cold spell makes driving a bit interesting.
