This is my very rare spanish built Authi Mini Van 1000. One of 1200 built, before the factory went up in flames and closed.
It was used by Olympic Airways inside the old Hellinikon Airport in Athens for over 30 years.
I used to see these cars in the Airport as a Yyoungster and always wanted one. Most of them were scrapped when the Airport closed. This is one of the very few survivors.
I bought it in a very sorry state and finished the resto last year. I though it would be easy but most electrical commponets for example were made by FEMSA and not Lucas. I had to search high and low in Spanish add sites to find the correct parts.
Went back to the old abandoned Olympic airport terminal for some pics. It might soon get demolished.
Thats lovely.. Is that an old Trident in the bottom pic??It was used by Olympic Airways inside the old Hellinikon Airport in Athens for over 30 years.

Thank you for the kind comments. There is a security guarded gate that leads into the Airport area. I have been told that he is quite lenient with R/C airplane Flyers, so I will give it a shot on Sunday.
Here are a couple of pictures of a Spider I used to own inside the Airport, during a car show that was held there some years ago.

That's a Boeing 727, rather than a Trident.

Tremendously good looking car.
Thanks, the styling is definitely coming into it's own after many years out of fashion.Here's a video I made on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VLrysnSwkg
And some film of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qy883Z-ELM

After getting the old coupe back from paint and mechanical work, I took it out to a few local shows:
Atherstone Heritage Motor Show.
Car Cafe, Nottingham.
Another from Nottingham.
& this one from Lutterworth MOT Centre's own gig, the only one I took on my phone.
Not usually a fan of big old Mercs but that looks lovely. Atherstone Heritage Motor Show.
