Rover 75 in German Art exhibition!

Zircon · 7th May 2016, 23:19

Just seen a rather extraordinary photo in today's I newspaper.

We always knew our cars are beautiful ... and now it seems that one has become a central part of an exhibit in a show by a Cuban artist, Humberto Diaz beings held at the Kunsthalle Museum in Rostock in Germany. From the photo, it looks as though it's a 75 taking a nosedive into a pool of water. You can view the copyright image here:

Enjoy

May be one of the German club members could visit Rostock and take a photo to upload for everyone to see?

All the best,

Nicholas/Zircon

Unfortunately too far away for me just to take a photo.

Very creative, the artist should create another one on the opposite side of the earth with the front coming out of the ground!

That was a heck of a lot of water that came out of the plenums

Impressive piece of art...not.

Quite clearly this was taken in the UK, and is just one of the many cars that have fallen foul of Britain's numerous pot holes.

The poor paint job, done with B&Q 'one coat' has dripped off in the heat of the sun.
