    On our recent road trip in Greece we came across this rusting away in a themed restaurant. Had I the money and means to get it home....

    What a sad waste of classic iron. But still, good to know it is out there.

    It would take a lot of work to restore, is in a seafront restaurant so in winter probably gets a regular soaking with salt water. Sad though.
