Saluti della Francia !
MaxNizza
Buonasera a tutti,

I'm sorry to write this message in English but I don't speak Italian. My name is Maxime, I'm French and I live in Nizza, a city located at only 25 km of the Italian border (Ventimiglia, IM) where I have sometimes the pleasure to see old cars registered in Italy.

I'm used to take pictures of old cars that I see in the streets, everywhere I go. I try firstly to "save" the most as possible of old French plates, especially the black ones (issued from 1950 to 1992). Unfortunately, all these plates are replaced by new ones (since 2009, we are copying the 1994 Italian national system...) and all will be diseppear in 2020.

This is to explain why I really like the Italian legislation, who permit to keep the old plate even if the owner move to another province or sell his car. My favorite are definitely the "orange letters" plates, typically Italian and who often belongs to rare and interesting cars.

I went to Sicily last week and I took a lot of pictures, that I look forward to show here.

As you can guess, I do not have any cars with "targhe nere", but however I drive a "youngtimer" car. It's a 1982 Renault 9 TSE, the top-of-the range of the model. Unfortunately it is registered with the very ugly national French plates.

Don't hesitate to answer me in Italian to simplify the discussion. I will use an online translator. Wink

Bienvenue Maxime, 2 fois par an de votre région, faire du vélo et avoir une Escort MK1. Je me promène dans toutes les zones, depuis le Col de Turini vous avez différentes étapes et ou Hills, Bonette, Braus etcecc. Je dirais que c'est une bonne région, comme les vieilles voitures, mais il y a quatre ou cinq ans, je pense qu'elles ont chuté, du moins celles qui étaient stationnées dans la rue.
Bonjour

Benvenuto Maxime, 2 volte l'anno passo dalle tue zone, pedalando in bicicletta e ha volte con una Escort MK1. Percorro tutte le zone, dal Col de Turini hai vari Passi e o Colli, Bonette, Braus ecc.ecc. Io direi che una buona zona come vetture d'epoca circolanti, anche se da 4\5 anni fa credo siano calate, almeno quelle che parcheggiate in strada.
Ciao

Bienvenue Maxime! Je devrais enlever la rouille de mon français, je ne le parle plus depuis de 1993.. Mais j'éspere de ecrire pas trop mal, mais je peut blamer la clavier d'ordinateur qu'il n'a pas l'accent circonflexe Pfft

Salut!

Mi sono sempre chiesto se la passione per le targhe è una fissa tutta italiana e cosa ne pensassero all'estero delle loro auto storiche molto spesso con targhe recenti. Ecco una risposta da MaxNizza che ben rappresenta questa passione anche in territorio straniero. evvai Bravo Max: ottimo conoscitore delle nostre targhe d'annata e possessore di una bella R9 (se hai foto inviale che le metteremo nella sezione "Le Nostre Targhe Nere" ).

Wow, an Escort MKI with targhe nere ? I must find it when you'll go back here ! Cycling is also my favorite way to explore my region. I'm still finding some very interesting cars between the cites of the coast and the small villages of the Alps. I climbed the Turini from Sospel (Sospello) and then the Braus from l'Escarène (Scarena) last September. This day, I've found a 1975 Peugeot 404 pick-up, a 1980 Citroën C35, a 1982 Audi 80, a Peugeot 403 or a 1974 Renault 6, for example. But old cars are unfortunately more and more rare in Nizza, if you compare with the situation only 5 years ago. It's probably the same in Italy ?

Rassure-toi, un français sans accent est un français que l'on peut très bien comprendre. Wink

Be sure that there a lot of enthusiasts about old registrations plates in France. I'm a member of a French forum dedicated to plates around the world and I also contribute to a topic dedicated to old cars spotted in the streets, where old plates are very appreciated. About the foreign plates, our favourites are very often the Italian ones from 1976 to 1985 (the famous "orange letters" ) !

So, here are the pics. I'm the owner since February 2017. The car is far from perfection : There is a big scratch on the right side, I need a lock for the driver's door, the ceiling is peeling off, the rear bumper loses its color and I lost recently and inexplicably a hubcap. All will be perfect in a few years !

This pictures were taken last Friday in Villefranche-sur-Mer near Nice. I stopped at this place to take a picture of a beautiful Fiat Croma from Imperia...and I considered it was also the good moment to do the same with my own car. Smile
 
Frabo187
Really beautiful! I never saw a green one, here in my city all the R9 are all disappeared.. Sad
 
MaxNizza
To be honest, I had never seen a green R9 before mine ! I spotted this summer another green TSE in the Loire valley, but it's a very rare color ("vert Épicea" in Renault's language).

About Italy, i was very happy to see two R9 in Sicily last week. It would be impossible to see two...Fiat Regata in France in the same time (and even in one year !).

Toujours avec des plaques noires, c'était mon père.
De la Peugeot 504 il y a beaucoup, même des pick-up 403.
  Au cours des 5 dernières années, je dirais que les voitures trouvées sur la route sont divisées par deux, c'est aussi vrai pour l'Italie.

Si ancora con targhe nere, era di mio padre.
Di Peugeot 504 ce ne sono molte, anche pick-up 403.
Negli ultimi 5 anni direi che le automobili trovate sulla strada si e dimezzato, questo vale anche per l'Italia.

Nice R9! Really rare in green, I think I've never seen one in my life. I'd like to drive it! Grin

In provenza non e' difficile incrociare vecchie auto con le suggestive targhe nere con caratteri argentati ed equipaggiate con i tipici fari gialli ...

Welcome and compliments for your R9 TSE.
Of this green i don't remember, while a metallic blue color was the car of a dear family friend in which i entered several times. Comfortable car and i have to say well finished.
In Italy there are really few, especially on black plates.

Hi Maxime, I am your follower on flickr, (with a different nick) where I had the opportunity to watch your interesting photos of old cars. I am happy if you can post your photos of Italian cars with black plates in this site too. Thank you and welcome.
 
MaxNizza
Hi Karl. It's funny that you recognized me here ! What is your nickname on Flickr ? I know that I follow at least one member of Targhe Nere (Fil82) but it's not you.

I'm used to post my best finds on Flickr and I have already shared some cars with Italian black plates. Be sure that a lot of my last finds in Sicily (which I'm posting now on Targhe Nere) will be in Flickr. But I hope you are not too hurry, because I have still many of 2016 pictures to post... Wink

Hi Maxime, my nickname on Flickr is Januk67. My photostream is not very big but I think you can find something interesting in it.
