When i Bought my 56 Vert a long time ago, i also bought a 56 limousine from a Junkyard. Changed oil and started it when i got home, Handbrake only mae the test drive short. The plan was to pick pars from it. But a bought a pristine 58 for 200£ that i took all tinware from. So the 56 was standin in my garde fro some years befor i pu it in storage. Lon story shot sisn it was from a junkyeard you where not supposed to get it registred and back on the road. But during Corona lockdow i did som research, and foun som old document's. and sent the int to the Swedish "DVLA", and it was OK to get on the road again. Sp may thsi year i started to repair it, since the Vert tok 14 years, and im getting old i needed to speed up teh project. sp teh goal was to get it safe and do some repairs like they did in the seventies::
