Original '57 oval
Chewy - December 17th, 2004 at 10:07 PM

This is a mate of mines oval. Its been in his family since new and is still very original.
It has what I think may be country buggy indicators fitted but not sure.
Still has no seat belts, interior is still in good shape and its on its original engine.
Been registered mostly its whole life and still gets the cobwebs blown out occasionally.

Looks good. Nice to see a unmolestered oval every now and again. Potentially a awesome restorer, especially being one owner and full history. :cool:

Now that's the one you always dream about finding in a shed somewhere and it's for sale-cheap.The indicators are early ones by Hella that were used mainly for trailers(trucks also ) and came with a small clear window as well for the number plate light. I have some NOS ones I want to put on my 1950 Morris Commercial truck if I ever get to restore it.
