Lets talk again after the car is painted and you will find out that stainless steal is not the best material to modify...;-)

Hi Rich,

Yes, That car is know to the registry. It was sold and is going to the UK.

Recently, an other Lawrence come out of hiding and is currently being restored in the US. It is car nr 532 and it is a convertible. This is thh rometsch from New jersey that was being discussed on the pelican forum. Unfortunately, I still don't have any pictures of that car.

That make the total of know Lawrences at 31 now

Nice to see that the owner knows what he did. Not all actually restorations have this quality...

Don't know the details yet... and I haven't seen it... but the source is legit.

still digging to get to the owner.

Was this car ever located?

This is the only remaining photo I have of my '59 Rometsch
I lost all my photos in a fire years ago.. My mother found this and sent it my way.
I believe this is in Santa Barbara at least it was in the early 90's

Dennis Linkletter
Bali, Indonesia

PS
I sold the car with a new 1800 in it..
I still have the original 59 Okrasa 1300 motor with the glass fuel filter, Abarth exhaust and nameplate in storage in CA

Anybody know the value/demand of/for this?

Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:01 pm

These two pictures were shown to me, when I was visiting a friend of mine. Does anybody recognise this car and know the whereabouts?

It is an early (curved style with round taillight) convertible
