But, a lovely project. At the moment, I'm going to build it with a simple GS body, until such a time when I can find out exactly what the body was. about a third of the work is the body and fittings. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Superb, its great that it has been saved and I am sure you can bring it back to life. Its lovely seeing things in this sort of condition being kept and not scrapped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex father in law owned it, and reckoned i'd never be able to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Looks like a late one as it has sling plates on the hubs. Back in late Seventies a friend rescued a C4 from a dealers yard near Sissinghurst in Kent. I did a lot of work on the engine and gearbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrunt & Farthing Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Look on the brightside, KTH you have an air-conditioned cab... at the moment that would be very desirable. Whilst there is a lot of rust on your lorry, cab-aside, it looks to be all there. This will make an interesting thread as you tear into it.

That trailer looks like it could do with a bit of love too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrunt & Farthing Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 What is the car beside the trailer? It has that 1960s sports car look, but I can't identify it. Is it a kit car tub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
