Hi All!

In first time, sorry for my bad english... Embarassed

I'm Cédric, 27 years old, from a little city in Belgium (by Liège).

Since september 2008 I'm the owner of a 16 march 53 oval.

Color L 35 Metallic blue, 100% original paint, 5 original wheells in original paint, original engine 25ps, original interior, original font and rear ights, one ribbed semaphore (the other is replaced in the 60's), 55 000 original km's...

The oval is powered with an Atogas, it runs very fine!

Hey, that's my car Very Happy

Mine is an October oval in the exact same color scheme... I am very close to painting the shell but your car is a great original. I love that color combination with the ruby red wheel centers....

Thanks for sharing, awesome car.... Very Happy

Correct "'53 only" intake manifold too! Nice car, thanks for sharing pics

(I used to live in Mons Belgium way back in the 70s by the way... and hope to get back down there to visit my old neighborhood the week before the Hessich show in Germany...!)

Wow! That's ...... a really nice car. Really early oval too (I think 6th or 7th day of production?). Was the ATOGAS kit originally installed on the car in the 50's?

WOW! Thank you for your comments! Wink

The Atogas is mounted in 2008 by the second owner.

The roofrack was on the car when the second owner found it! I have too the real old sunvisor "Frese" who was mounted on the oval since the 50's! (not mounted on the pics) The car was parked from the middle of the 60's to 2006!

This evening I will post some other pics of details... Wink
