Nice motor, I haven't seen one of those before (I'm 30 which might explain!). Is it American?

Post more pics! Did you do a restoration on it at all?

I fully expect to see this car posted on many other threads on PH, probably a "Bad Parking" thread as that wont fit in any standard parking spaces over here.
Very Nice though !!

Must admit I tend to take up 4 spaces in asda on purpose as the doors are long and people just park too close lol

Looking good, you need to find a 60s surfboard to put on the roof rack and a swamp cooler to finish it off smile
