Timewaster Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I was looking at the pics of RMX's Shifter Rossa in its gleaming new paint and I thought that was the bravest pick up restoration since......

Andrew353w Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I've been in touch with him a few weeks ago, via Fakebook. I wanted some information about through which docks FSO cars were imported & he was helpful and answered my questions (it was Sheerness.) He doesn't do Autoshite as much but he is still very much an Autoshiter! I saw his lovely FSO Polonez on the M25 a few months ago-it really IS a beauty, complete with registration number H15FSO!

CYANIDE STEVE Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Matt, we collected the Ital from Northern Ireland last week. The top picture is where we stayed in Cairnryan over night after driving off the ferry. You would have seen us on Friday 20th on the A75 as we drove from Cairnryan back down to East Sussex. Well spotted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 What's the crack with the Alpine on the trailer - is that the really early one which was advertised on here a couple or three years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYANIDE STEVE Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 No it's only a recent find as the owner had died and it was going to be scrapped until a friend of mine was made aware of it and bought it. It has now been given the once over by a Simca specialist and will be undergoing restoration soon. Owain71, Dick Longbridge and oldcars 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well spotted Wow! That's like 1,100 miles @ 35p per mile (for an Iveco + trailer) + £100s in ferry tickets + lots of time. All for a Y reg Ital! Hope something special is planned for it.

CYANIDE STEVE Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We covered 1300 miles altogether and it cost £310 in fuel. The ferry was £214 return as we went across early hours of the morning. The Ital was cheap but as it isn't actually mine, it's my friends, I won't say the price lol. It is alot of money for what the car is but it's the experience we enjoy as well as buying the car itself Semi-C, DSdriver, DeeJay and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transport for an extremely large dog?I've just got to put a cylinder head on it and put it through an MOT and I'll probably give it to my Aunty and Uncle as my cousin is severely disabled and I know they were thinking about getting something like this. They don't know that yet. It'll be a nice surprise for them They'll have it by the end of March. overrun, MrFarkinBasz, DSdriver and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYANIDE STEVE Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Autoshite Delivery ... How much do you charge for such a service ?LOL!! Yeah, what Deejay said ^^^^ It all depends on the job itself really. I mainly do it for the enjoyment I get from it. I love my Iveco, I love driving it and towing the trailer and I love old Shite cars, so I don't ask silly amounts of money, just cover fuel cost and a bit on top to cover wear and tear and maintenance on the Van and trailer. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
