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

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

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

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?

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

regards
Patrick
