Bowser, welcome to the Forum.  She is a beauty! I especially like the shots in the marina.

There is a thread for new member introductions under the heading "General Discussion."  Please introduce yourself there and tell us the story of your acquisition. 

Again welcome to the group.

Hi Bowzer,

Welcome. While in Malta I visited a quite interesting vintage car collection in Quawra http://www.classiccarsmalta.com/contact-us/), but there was no Pagoda...

Malta seems like an ideal place for our cars... all year round driving guaranteed.

BTW, did you prefer LHR over RHD? Any problems with registration of a LHR?

Same 'layout' but different color plates Achim.
At least at some point, Portugal had very similar plates to The Netherlands.

Hi Stan,

yes, Malta is the ideal place for classic cars due to our weather. I like to buy cars in their original design, a german car to me needs to ne a LHD. There are no problems whatsoever to register a LHD car here
