Wow! I never knew this would generate over 600 views in under 4 days.. I hope it's OK that I posted the video on YouTube Morten. Btw, I cried a little when I saw the picture of the bus right before it was dumped.. was it in your family at the time? Why was it dumped?


No problem - you find most of the cars history in this thread. It's not a car from my family, and it was dumped due to a broken gearbox in the early 70's.

Nice car you got. The chassis no. on mine is 264 020.

It has been very busy for me with work and family since the SCC meeting in August, so the progress of the car is zero. It's on the thinkiong stage. But I will now add some pictures from the summers work before the SCC meeting.
