Kevin

they REALLY are beautiful cars!!

The interior of that vert is awesome and so is the steeering wheel on the split.



Unfortunately there is a voice in my head that keeps on saying 2.3L........2.3L.........2.3L.........



Lordy ........ I need help.........

Absolutely gorgeous! That Cabriolet si awesome......cant wait for the final pics of this one. Lvoed the splits too.

2splits - July 14th, 2004 at 11:04 AM

Thanks for the kind words everybody. I'm a lucky guy (not rich - lucky!). The blue split is all original - original paint, interior, everything (i have a 36hp engine in right now for a little more power - but I have the original). I bought that one in Belgium.

The ragtop I bought from the original owner about 1/2 hour drive from me. That car only has 57,000 and is actually unrestored (just repainted back in the 80's). Its an original ragtop. Here is a picture of the car in 1952:

The convertible I bought from the original owner in 1992. That car only has 40,000 original miles and is completely documented. It was my daily driver while I was in college for 3 years - never had a problem. Finally decided to restore it 2 years ago. Just gotta finish the top and its done! Will shoot some more pictures when its done. Here is the car how I bought it.

Again, thanks for the kind words!
