Taken in the height of the summer, New-York based snapper Bobi took a tour through the city known as a 'living car museum'.

The city's streets are filled with decades-old rides that have been carefully nurtured to survive for around 70 years.

Most of the American motors hail from the 1940s and 50s, before the crippling US trade embargo after the communist revolution led by Fidel Castro in 1959.

This along with the country's ban on foreign car imports has forced people to lovingly tinker with their rides to keep them running.

Bobi said: "I wanted to find and feel the authentic rhythm of Cuba. The real island.

"The one beneath the glittering turquoise surface.

"A country currently on the brink of permanent change, and one I wanted the chance to visit before the effects of the commercial world alter it forever.

"Cuba's socio-political and economic history has left it isolated for years.

"The US embargo has dictated a lack of mass tourism and Americanization, leaving the island nation largely untouched by every day luxuries or conveniences considered normal and essential in the Western world."
