Nostalgic Singapore Car Photos from the 90s

Nostalgic Singapore Car... Photos...

 

On a local board where some of us gather to talk about old or interesting cars, someone managed to get hold of a scanner and put up these photos from the 90s (Guessing from the time/date-stamps). With cars here having a rather limited lifespan (usually 5-10yrs), it is interesting to see how things have changed in a little over 20 years.

Some nice details of an Alfa GTV above, followed by more "modern" 33s below.

A Rover sitting next to an E28.

And how the local BMW dealership's workshop (Performance Motors) used to look.

On initial launch, only 3 of these Mercedes SL's were allocated for the local market. I guess eventually, more made it over.

I'm guessing this was the local shop for Mercedes Benzo.

Hopefully i can dig up more local old car photos i used to have, will post them up once i find em.

About a year back i saw a 33 still running around. Awesome boxer engine and still a head-turner.
