Crikey that is a lot of kit car ownership

Which one did you wish you had kept?

 

[Phaeton]

Mr Bumble & Bugrat

 

[250buggys]

They might come up at some point

 

[Phaeton]

I've offered the Bugrat's owner the amount he's asking, until yesterday the cash was in the cupboard in the kitchen I've told him I can come down any day to collect, but he's gone silent on me again, I know he's not a well man in & out of hospital, I had a message from him on the 7th Jan saying he'd just come out & would get me some images but not heard from him since. I'd just like to know where I stand, apparently he did the same to another guy about 2 years ago, but again there might be genuine reasons.

But come this weekend I'm going to try invoke plan H (I think it is)

7 looks much better with cycle wings.

Trimmed the interior as well



But I don't like the wheel choice, prefer the ones that were on, period or not

What was that 2.0L Alfa engine like? Quite a rare choice for a 7 replica.

 

[Phaeton]

Didn't drive it much as I didn't fit very well, it was difficult to get my knees under the steering wheel but I had the 1.6 version in an old Fiat Super Mirafiori back in the 80's which was a superb engine in comparison with the Fords & Vauxhalls of the day

You can see how small it is next to the Freestyle, does look fun though.
