WOW, green 365BB is damn cool! Especially spotted in a country from which we don't get many sightings!! Very cool also the white 300SL Gullwing

The 308 with 355 wheels is a bit weird, but it looks cool anyway 8)

Yeah Saad
There are quite a lot of classic cars in Iran; before the clerics took over in Iran, the country was not such a mess as it is now :cry: , Also a great number of the classic cars in Iran come from the deceased Shah's (King's) huge collection
I agree that some of the cars are not so cool, however there were even more uncool ones like huge displacement american hotrods, some old 911's (not in very good condition, so uncool for me) and tons of Benzes.

But what about street sightings? Is it possible to spot rare cars on the road or just better to forget about it?

Well TT, actually the import of cars was banned between the years 1991 and 2004~5 (to support local car makers) and you can imagine what happens in a monopol market...but now that the imports have restarted, the duties are so ridiculously high (+130%) that only the financially priviledged could buy the expensive imports so those are rather rare sights, but not impossible...I see some nice cars now and then but I usually don't carry my camera with me My last was a white CLS 55 parked beside a blue Audi TT yesterday, but didn't have my camera with me as usual

Oh I see, thanks for the insight! Let's hope things will improve one day!
