Dannyboys UK ride!
Dannyboy - December 7th, 2005 at 11:57 PM

Now i've paid for it i can show you my new ride in the UK. It's a 65 LHD from Austria. I really wanted a LHD early ragtop but this great car came along so that was that. Reason for LHD is mainly due to having something different. I have owned a few LHD cars before and i quite like that Euro feel for some reason.

Have a look at the link and you'll see what a solid rust free it is. Nice and original and showing a few of lifes scars. Note the "Albert" mirrors , so cool. I will do the usual treatment to this , tidy interior etc but paintwork will remain as is and no resto planned. Just a good detail and the odd paint chip touched up! Oh and car will be fully undersealed and rust proofed to remain the way it is!

The car will look slightly different as it comes pre lowerd to my spec ( 2 outer on back) and will have a 4" narrowed beam with CB drops up front. SLAMMED!!!!! With short axles on the rear it should sit great and the rims i have in mind will suit the car no end.

I'll keep you up to date with how things are going once back in the UK

Cheers Dan
