One of my toys, brought over from Dallas in 2001, it had never been touched, I got it road worthy, and made plans........ All home built, Air ride 4 way switching, 320mm discs, rack n pinion, 289/c4 eng/box tricked out, Over the next 8 years it was a rolling resto, drive it in the spring to Autumn and do another bit over the winter. Not sure how to do pics....see if this works More later.........  Then pulled the fnt off , did the brakes, steering, drivetrain, and paint...a busy winter that one!  Painted the side in blue leopared print 3 tone, amazing what a small repair gun can do!   And then another winter the roof........and some interior     ![]() The last bit...the dash!  And then the rest of it.........8 years of winters, its been to the south of France, Black forest in Germany, does a sat Nav indicated 118, ( which is a little too fast!) carrys wibblepoo to the tip in vast quantites, and goes down a bomb at the Builders merchants. Another pic mid build.....I will find the garage ones  ?later.  |

It is rare, 1049 made in 59, and as they where just wagons, they got abused, and scrapped, so there are only 3 known 2 doors left in the world....
I will post a build up, if any one wants to see it.

I can only echo Dave's comments, one of those cars that makes me stop and stare every time I see it.
