Not much in Menorca

Well I just got back from a short break in Menorca and saw very few classic Citroens. However I did see a couple of Mehari's, both clean one of which was spotless. A couple of Xantia's both 2.o hdi's. No sign of any Xm's though. Saw some C5's including two of the latest Germanic looking model.
Interestingly I saw a few Renault 4's! One in showroom condition! One evening while the missus was browsing for souvenirs I heard a lot of horns going and what sounded like a lot of Vespa or Lambretta scooters. On looking out of the shop I was amazed to see the tail end of a procession of what I think were Goggomobile micro cars. Whatever they were, they were small and square and there was a lot of them. There was a Fiat 500 Abarth (original not the new model) bringing up the rear! I just wished I'd looked sooner when I first heard them!
