Impressive! Has Barrett moved onto your street?

You know, that was my first thought. I spoke to the owner (a serial shite-ist, he has multiple bits of tat under cover in his yard just out of shot and many lockups) and he said he's had 5 Panhards over the years, i told him about Barretts but couldn't remember the details. He said he's got a lockup full of parts too. Full interiors, running gear, the lot. To be honest he seemed somewhat taken aback that I knew what it was in the first place.

Seriously awesome motor!

 

Also, welcome back, blimey!!

I wonder if the previous owner swapped the engine ? That is my old Panhard I imported it and it was only once I got it home I found it had twin spark heads. It has also had the cam gear upgrade done as I checked it when I had it. I have a load of pictures at home of how it looked before I sold it to Justin Banks. It was a good solid car from the south of France

Here you go the Panhard in better days. If the guy who owns it now wants to get in touch let me know. As there is quite a story about it.

Thanks!

 

I haven't been far, just loitering in the background but I'm trying to get myself back in the swing of things.

Good man!

I saw that Bedford police bus at a show in Worksop last weekend ^^

[Datsuncog]

Cracking spots, chap! Some truly wonderful chod there. Intrigued by the GT6 towing it's own shrunken twin... any idea what all that was about?

This tragic old heap only saw the roads for 8years!

Wow - never knew the Hunter stayed in production long enough to gain Chrysler badges. Presume that one has deteriorated a bit in long term storage, rather than being representative of the breed in the mid 1980s? Wonder what mileage it managed to clock up.

They were sold as Chryslers for 3 or 4 years but it tiny numbers. I will have to pop down and speak to the guy about it, there must be a story.

Welcome back David! Nice to see an old thread getting a bump to the top. That Bluebird is a fantastic find - I'd have been chuffed to see something like that a decade ago let alone this year. More plz. (great photos, too)

Nice to be back, really going to try to be here with some consistency.

The Bluey is a honey, there was a bunch of Datsuns inside too but they were all covered in stuff. 

Worry not, there are more photos coming, many, many more.

What a shame. It looks to have been immaculate and on the show circuit a few years back. I can only assume elderly/unwell owner.

Gosh, that is sad! I'd love a Crab and hate to see a relatively rare one look so despondent. It lives at the side of a fairly busy road which is doing it no favours either.

Tax disc from the photo where it still looks immaculate is only* 2015. It must have been parked up very shortly after to be looking so rough now. 

Go door knocking!

The thing is, I took those photos in Nov 2019 so it could be an utter basket case now, though it is still showing taxed.

Semi-good news. The owner is very much alive and kicking. They also dragged it indoors last summer and started restoring it, only for some bell end to rob them of a lifetime's tool collection. Looks like the resto is on pause.

That is bittersweet, it looks like they do good work too. I wonder if they are still in need of tools, is anybody a member on there to ask?
