On the 26th November 1963, my Opalescent Golden Sand FHC rolled out of the factory, destined for New York and then to California. 57 years later, repatriated and restored I took it for a birthday blast (scenic route to get to the supermarket for essential supplies ) to celebrate. There will of course be cake and champagne later!
Happy Birthday 889504

Happy birthday 889504, lovely car Richard and such a stunning colour!
My car, 885175, also OGS, was built on 8th November 61 and was also dispatched to New York. It was repatriated in 1990 and fully restored by an E Type specialist.
I imported it into Australia in 2008 where it remains in beautiful condition (recent refurbishment of front suspension and engine repair & detail)

All looking good gents!
I’d offer you some birthday cake, but there was only one slice left and my daughter nabbed that!
