mk1_4dr Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 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. mk1_4dr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. mk1_4dr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

barrett Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lives at the side of a fairly busy road which is doing it no favours either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been parked up very shortly after to be looking so rough now. Go door knocking! mk1_4dr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://brm-forum.org/thread/548/1967-wolseley-18-85-eugenie?page=1 Anglevan, adw1977 and 500tops 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1_4dr Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
