Yeah, I posted them there too. Might as well get some mileage out of it when I first have taken the pictures.

Who are you there? I can't recall your username (assuming you are a user there).

I'm Stainless on there, which is my username in English (It was taken on here so I used the Swedish as it sounded good, not that I am Swedish)

Could be 'Classic & Sportscar' journo Martin Buckley's, he has a thing about 130s.

Looks like a daily driver .. how has it not rusted away ? !!!! ....

[iva cosworth]

Maybe it had proper rust proofing done when new and has been properly cared for and not used in winter.

Good spot and rare....

I bought a car like that once... a Mk1 Escort, rust-free and Ziebarted from new. Unfortunately the Ziebart turned out to be structural, as everything behind it had disintegrated.

How cool was I smoking around in one of those aged 19 back in the early 80's.

I bought a mk2 RS2000 with rust proofing.

The engine bay was covered in it but it was the first place to show rust signs.

I should've removed all of it from the engine bay,it would have improved the under bonnet appearance too.

It was one of my best cars I've had,bought at 4 years old from the first owner with Ford service history.

My Peugeot has been Zeibarted, didn't stop the thing rusting though! It seems a dirty, black sticky engine bay is a feature of a Zeibarted car!

Something where rust is not such an issue ! - spotted in town this afternoon ....

Earliest 900 I've seen for a long time.

Me and the old man are always buying selling and tinkering with old/interesting motors usually triumphs. Been away for the weekend so popped over to see him and imagine my surprise when I pulled up at the house to find him tinkering with his new toy purchased yesterday

What is it? Looks fun whatever it is.

Is that a 4A or a 5 beside it?
