#1 Guess the hidden car...

Post by redranch » Sat May 09, 2009 11:24 am

Anyone recognise this familiar shape? Next time I'm over in the UK I'll try a take a photo without the sheet over it...but to honest there is almost nothing left of the car...p

The new owner is going to restore the car at some stage...but it's a lot of work.

I might be able to. But the owner is not great at giving out information on his cars for the internet...something about not trusting the internet :)

I'll try and see what I can find out....p

Didn't get a chance for a photo of the car under the tarp, but the answer is a pretty rotten early Series 1 (flat floor) FHC.
