it's my daily driver some days , the 1600 is fast enough for me, considering the brakes, can anyone tell me how you do a right hand turn at busy roundabout with only semaphores ?

good on you Kim. Beautiful car... and I love the before and after pics. You even got the fence in the background. You need some overriders though...

great comparison you wouldn't see many of those around
great family history being made..
put one of your kids in a shot and you know in years to come do the same pic..
of course you'll be compelled to keep the 54 for the pics to come but hey thats not too bad an idea 😎

Well done and congrats on the great score!!
I bet the reaction from your mum was priceless.
So can you duplicate the old pic in the same location?

Comparing hte pic's, you either need to lower the new one, or throw some more weight in it 😀
Enjoy you new transport!!

Ha, not sure if I could ever find exactly where that pic was, & would need to fill the car with a lot of rocks to duplicat the weight in it

Welcome to the world of 54's where nothing is the same as any other oval.
I was thinking of buying that car, looks very neat. Do you know what month the old pic and your new one is? Just curious... the old pics might be an early 54 as it looks as if it has the bigger hubcaps and maybe 16" wheels.

It's moving straight, low to the ground,

Kim, Now you need to find the kids tin car like you have on the roof rack of the 1st pic! Why oh why do parents chuck out these old toys!
