I thought it was a Riley 2.6 - even rarer than a Pathfinder. Any Riley experts who can tell us?

It's a Pathfinder, the noticeable differences from that angle are that the Pathfinder has thicker rear window pillars and the rear lamp cluster has three pieces; rear lamp, indicator & reflector whereas the 2.6 only has two in the cluster. You can just about see that there are three holes in the rear wing where the lamp unit would be while the thicker pillars are more obvious.

Also posted on 'Real good numberplate thread'.........

Nelson by any chance? Have seen that a few times myself and wondered what story it holds!

Correct.

Allegedly the car was subject to a dispute regarding the bill for smg gearbox repairs, most parts of which remain but unfortunately on the seats and interior trim which have suffered as a result. The car may look like a worthwhile project but would need a shedload £ throwing at it.......

av185, I have PM'ed you.

The following 17 cars rotting,some worse than others,at a rural garage in Sweden.

Look away now if you dislike East European old carp,although some ex decent cars are here too.

T'would appear to be right hand drive. They changed from driving on the left to driving on the right in 1967. That car looks post 67.

[iva cosworth]

Didn't notice that.

You'll have to wait for the other pics as I have lost patience with this laptop

It took 3 attempts to get this far.

[iva cosworth]

There I managed another 4

[DickyC]

We are indebted to you, sir.

[iva cosworth]

[DickyC]

Yes,it's the old Rapid model.

I have a few more from 2 other Swedish locations but I really can't be bothered till later.

Stay tuned rotting fans.
