Name: Fiat 500 1970
Brand: Fiat

On August 5, 2018, the monthly classic car meeting called "Oldtimer Sunday Morning" took place once again in the bull stables in Zug. Despite the sweltering heat, many classic cars from over eight decades turned up. Early risers suffered a little less from the heat than late comers, which is why the field began to empty unusually early. This picture story gives impressions of the meeting and shows some special cars.

It was so hot on the OSMT train that even the radiator mannequins were in danger of melting

Some people were happy if they could at least keep their interior shaded with a parasol

Even better, of course, was a retractable sun canopy to provide shade

It really was almost a runaway, this Buick radiator grille seemed to suggest

But the heat didn't stop even cars over 100 years old from visiting Zug

And the Equipe Bleu from Central Switzerland also drove up with their A110s

If you're a real fan, you have your car in a wide range of sizes ...

... and on departure, of course, all the hatches were open due to the heat

In Zug, there were not only limousines and convertibles, but also commercial vehicles and even two-stroke engines

British cars were the guest of honor on August 5 - with Jaguar naturally playing the leading role. From the Jaguar XK 120 with matching license plate ...

... up to the Jaguar E-Type they were all on site

This Jaguar XK 150 was parked photo-friendly in front of its successor, the E-Type, which turned out to be a kind of fatamorgana

Georg Dönni not only showed a Jaguar limousine with work requirements ...

... but also a beautiful E-Type with an engine to bite into

The British were not only able to do it in "Racing Green", but also quite colorful, as this compilation shows

The hump on the hoods of these MG sports cars indicates that an in-line six-cylinder engine is humming underneath

There were perhaps 20 or 30 MG B/Cs with an Austin Mini Metro, although they were once much more common

This MG A didn't really need to hide behind the VW Bus either

Bigger on the inside than on the outside, which certainly seemed right for this Mini with three occupants

But of course there were not only British people in Zug, but also Americans and Germans and ...

... lots of Italians, like this Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint or the Fiat 124 Sport coupé

The Alfetta was even seen several times as a coupé, with both four and six-cylinder engines

It is rare to see the Giulietta of the eighties on our roads, ...

... the Fiat 500 is much more common here

A showpiece from Germany - Mercedes-Benz 300 SL as a Gullwing

Opel luxury class models - Senator 2.5 E and Kapitän

And then of course the cabin scooters like this Messerschmitt with the signature of its builder Fritz Fend

There were also two Isetta cab rolls to see, the shadow turns the windshield wiper into antlers

And what would a classic car meeting be without a VW Beetle, especially the popular pretzel-window version?

A Ford Taunus from the seventies had also found its way to Zug

Always a feast for the eyes: VW Bus "Samba"

An early Renault with three rows of seats represented France, as did ...

... this pretty Renault 4 CV ("rear"), which is still available ...

... in black and next to its late successor, the Twingo

This Renault 5 Turbo, a real exotic, showed wide cheeks while ...

... the Simca 1301 Special was frequently seen on our roads back then

Probably one of the most unknown cars to many visitors was this Apal Rancho from the early seventies with the technology of the Renault 4, ...

... while the Saab 96 was actually still remembered quite well

This Plymouth Fury Sport looked much more sophisticated, ....

... while the Swiss Buggy Froggy was probably one of the very few car designs of modern times on the square

Everyone was allowed to show what they had, whether four or twelve cylinders, it didn't matter

Well, the World Cup is over!

The fire engine did indeed emit a nice tatütatü, but many visitors would have preferred a jet of water on the square. But there was no such thing, which is why many people left early ...
