You don't sound very Russian Wayne!!

This car was reported in South Africa in July 2003 Then sold to a Russian who will restore it in Russia

it was "sold" to some russians - but they never paid any money for the car - nor for any of the restoration work done on the car - so they were issued with an attachment letter - and i have bought it - with registration papers and heritage certificate - the car never left South Africa and i have been a regular visitor since 2005 as i have bought a few cars from the owner of the garage where it has been sitting since then - with work done on it in when the garage owner had some spare cash - it is off to the panel shop next week hopefully

finally finished - after not being on the road for 15 years - really nice restoration - if not concours - drives really well - except for brakes - ordered the disk brake conversion kit after first drive - passenger door keeps flying open - this was a major restoration problem - but i did not get it right obviously
