Anyway, the update on these 2 cars...
Erm... not sure...
I think My friend is buying the Deluxe... its not un welded, but its a bloody good and dry for a RHD UK car... not sure its exact age... he is talking about doing a bit of bodywork (- there are no holes, but he wants it perfect, so will re-do the welding that has been done before... re-paint and get it together ASAP...
The Standard... well the owner has maybe decided to keep it... so I'll let you know if anything comes of this.. the owner is a really nice chap and is wealthy and has a lovely collection of cars so is in no rush to sell... but i think he has realised he will never finish all of them!
But there was another Oval, a really tatty one.. which caught my eye (I like em rough!), and i have asked to buy... its another 53-55 ish RHD oval... this one is again quite "special" and looks like it probably has a great story to tell...
All info is a bit vague as it was all done in such a rush... so who knows what will come of it all...
oh, and there was a Californian import '67 ... very solid with a horible paint job... dont know if that will be for sale too?
