It’s a long story so here is the brief:
Saw it advertised at a farm auction in the local rag, emailed the auctioneer, he rang back, knew nothing rang up the vendor, and she had had it since it was either new or the late 60’s and in 1983 her husband (Now dec) bought her another car and this one was left in the barn on the farm.
Anyway she is moving now and it went up for auction and after some fierce bidding I won it for a song.
Traveled over 600km today just to pick him up and get him to the property. He is complete apart from radio and battery. Major rust is the battery sized hole where the battery should be and LHS pillar. Will be shedded after a throughly clean up and ill see if he will start after 24 years.
A resto is on the cards eventually.... or maybe repair rust and keep him ratty, whatever the eventual outcome, Wilson will only improve from here.
Wish me luck!!! More pics when I get back Tuesday.
Cheers Will
