#1 Post by 3xpendable » Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:05 am

My dad picked up this last week, said it was too good to turn down.

Has spent it's entire life in the south of France, and as a result has some surface rust and that's it! Check out under the arches:

Done.

Yes - that's FAR too good to scrap, and as an estate it's probably a great deal more rare, and will be uber practical when it's back on the road too - what a great purchase!

Keep us updated with the reto will you please?

:D :D :D
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Will do Luxo. Don't expect anything for a bit though as sadly it is in a queue behind:

:shock: That's extremely well kept by the looks of that inner wing/bumper support strop area. These are super easy to convert to RHD too!

Thanks guys.

Oh arceye, it's the law of averages. If you get enough rusty ones you eventually get a good one! The two imps we are collecting are rotten, and that brings the total number of classics we have up to 10!
