Bavaria In The Rockies: A Trio Of Colorado BMW Survivors

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than Island That Rust Forgot. I've got quite the stockpile of photographs from Denver, thanks to Kitt, EJacobs, and my own bimonthly visits to the Mile High City. Today we're going to have another 3-Fer-1 Colorado-palooza, with one BMW from each of us!

Another Alfa Romeo GT Down On The Denver Street

Remember when Kitt photographed an early 70s Alfa Romeo GT in her Denver neighborhood? What are the chances that another Alfa of similar vintage would be found across town by EJacobs? Welcome to Denver, where old Italian iron seems to survive just fine! This one is a bit more battered than the other, and the lack of license plates may indicate that it doesn't drive much, but it's on the street and looking pretty good.

Volvo Bertone Flashes Italo-Swedish Style On Denver's Boulevards

There's a Volvo 262C parked in a driveway scant blocks from my house; it would be a super-cool DOTS car, but it's off-limits. Not so for the Bertone in ejacobs' neighborhood, which is on the street and set up for easy photography with no other vehicles nearby. These things sold for 15 grand back in the day, well over twice the price of a regular 242; this one has some rust, but looks pretty complete.

British Steel Screaming For Vengeance In Denver

We need more Judas Priest references here, and Denver's EJacops has given us the opportunity to drop a couple by finding and photographing these three British machines in his neighborhood. We've got a shockingly rust-free TR6, a Land Rover that seems ready to claw its way straight up the nearest 14,000-foot mountain, and when was the last time you saw a TR3 parked on the street in a manner that suggests it actually runs regularly? Good work, EJacobs! Make the jump for a second gallery.

The Denver Iron Keeps Coming: Early Datsun 240Z

Now that we've got two photographers out shooting Denver DOTSBE cars while out walking their respective dogs, we can expect to see plenty of vintage machinery from the streets of the Mile High City. Today we're going to look at a solid-looking 1970 or 1971 Datsun 240Z (Z experts, please help out on the exact year here) shot by Ejacobs, who brought us the late-40s International Harvester KB-3 last week.
