Hi Michiel, 

There seem to be quite a number of SSS in Portugal but so far that's the only place in Europe where they seem to have been sold in any numbers. There must be one or two still in existence in the Netherlands, no? I'm not sure if there are others in France. 

 

I have a ferry booked to come over to JCS this year. Are you going to that? I'll be taking my Cherry Europe though rather than the 510, even though it should be registered and road legal by then (it will still be looking rather ugly I'd imagine).

I couldn't find any references to Dutch SSS survivors, but who knows! Haven't been to JCS in years, but I'll try, even if I don't have a JC at the moment... 

Some Dutch 510s I saw yesterday*

Jeez, I sort of stopped visiting the forum because it depressed me too much (want shite, can't have shite) - chance visit this morning and WOW, what a find! Congrats Ratdat, it's going to be a beaut for sure.

They were apparently offered here... would be nice to find one.

It's a bit of a nightmare, the new and 'improved' flickr... I couldn't find what it's called and who made it, I think Daihatsu:

Found some old photos (https://www.flickr.com/photos/michielverburgh/sets/72157644221395643 for all 25 photos) I took as a 13-year old at a car show, I guess I was a bit of a shiter already...two shots of the F40 and all the Ferraris on the stand, but a Favorit 136 L as well! Can't remember why I wanted to 'waste' a photo on that one.

Fabuloso!!!! All I have is a brochure....

Why do we always get blamed?

Bit bored at work so I scanned the manual:

Some fine googletranslaterish nonsense like 'In case the trouble is left alone without necessary repairs the engine may be seized' and 'don't neglect oiling in good time'.

I don't own and probably never will own a Daihatsu Compagno, but I do own an owner's manual as of this week. Never expected to find one in Holland, previous owner didn't know how or where he found it though.

So Dagenham Dave was an anomaly?

The more you ignore me, the pinker I get?

I bet there are some Rubber Rings in a Corsa as well.

It was imported later but it had fake plates then so I never found out if it was actually registered here. I think it lives in Switzerland now after being for sale for 15k euro for a while.

Ha, I've just printed the 2300 road test Trigger posted on Flickr! Gorgeous berlina.

Those seats are downright papal, if that's possible.

This is probably mega expensive, but have you ever seen a Felber Beta before?
