Greek Cars and Seventies Cool




I found it hard to believe at first, but Greece actually produced cars in the past. One of them was the Enfield Neorion Ε8000, which was produced on the island of Syros, since the company was owned by the brothers Goulandris as of 1972. This type of car ran on batteries, but the price was high and it never got permission for production in Greece, which is why only a few cars were made, bought by the British Post.




I don't know why, but I feel strangely attracted to the design of this vehicle. Its compact shape, the colours I see in the pictures, its clean and honest look, even knowing that it was an electric car - all these facts make me long for the seventies, all of a sudden...




And when I think of the 1970s, a lot of things come to mind...



















It would be so nice to go on a small trip right now...
