Decembrafest

[VWPowered]

Quiet month for me only really caught afew retro's out and about, today's fest was a little better..

 

My good friend modified her Volvo..

 

 

Early Range Rover

 

 

Out and About trying to find a driveshaft for the misses Passat brought me firstly to this small breakers around the corner, he had Vespa's and little Sans Permits by the bucket load... never seen as many

 

sadly he didn't have a Passat in stock but did say i could return to take some photo's so more on way (in better quality)??..

 

 

Old Land Rover

 

 

Old Merc

 

 

i promise to get better pics of the Talbot

 

 

Datsun Sunny had grotty doors but clean overall

 

 

Samba with a black eye

 

 

loads of these..

 

 

Peugeot J7

 

 

T2 Mercedes

 

 

Big Trucks

 

 

So not driveshaft so off to St Mathieu another breakers, this one's reasonably new and run by Jean-Paul who gladly led me around showing me car after car and some real nice one's, another i'm to return to in a week (as he may have the shaft but has to remove it first) so i'll take the camera and get some more shots

 

so if you see anything call 05 55 48 21 33

 

Another J7 this one looked very tidy

 

 

Beast of a Merc turns out is for sale although i cant remember the price off hand

 

 

Don't get these in the UK

 

 

stunning little Fiat 900

 

 

Buggered Passat

 

 

Jag's both for sale

 

 

Tiny LNA given the death penalty due to lost paperwork

 

 

now thinking wow i really linke this place he shows me some old Model T gear, Renault and Citroen engines and a lovely 88-ish Rover Sterling (started off the key too ) i spot afew other bits 2CV's Escorts and then he shows me this

 

 

he now has a new best friend...

 

like i said anything of intrest give me a PM or give the guys a call

Nice haul there! I'd really like an LNA, having owned a Samba./pedant mode/ Jaguar on left is a Daimler.

[VWPowered]

still fer sale though lol, i actually really liked the left one very P.I.M.P

[Spiny Norman]

That must have been some whack to do that to a Volvo's windscreen frame, hope your friend's OK.Is that Lancia a Kappa estate?

[VWPowered]

i believe so yes(the friend is fine, bruised ego now has to drive a tatty ol' civic as her hubbie wont let her drive the merc now)

[Richard]

Just as well the Volvo was a right hooker Was there a passenger?

[VWPowered]

lucky no as she was on her way to pick up the kids when it happened, was driving to fast, caught a grass verge, spin and flipped it across a field and landed back on its wheels in the next road was very lucky, volvo wasnt though

[Mr_Bo11ox]

AM Lagonda, what a find!!! 14.6/10. That Talbot looks tidy too, nice finds!!!!

[scruff]

Excellent, love the Sambas and LNAs, my mum had a red Samba when I was a kid.Is the Land Rover for sale do you reckon?? My pal in Charente might be very interested if it is.

[VWPowered]

hey Mr Scruff is your mates name either Bob or Antony, just a couple of LR peeps i know here already, it could possibly be for sale, will find out more details

[Spottedlaurel]

I spied a Camry estate with twin rear wipers! Looked as if it was on UK plates?

[VWPowered]

BTW did you know

 

see that tiny green tab to the left... did you know thats a fuse, great you say now just above that is a tiny display, its only for the mileage reading (this one says 34000) i so lol'd at this what sort of mental place is that to put one (is there one on the dash too )

[Dukestar25]

This is lovely

[barrett]

They probably knew that the uber-complicated digi-dash would break within a week!

Yes K-Plater has a surprising amount of UK stuff for a french guy even drives around in one of those Mitsi 4x4 Import things on UK Plates (think someone on the board has one too but cant think of whats its called..) also have a MINT Toyota Surf (black, full chrome inc rims) also on UK plates the Rover Sterling is Frenchie and the Jag above but Daimler coupe was RHD

[Milford Cubicle]

Doesn't the Lagonda's dashboard have CRTs for the readouts? Utter shite!Great spots as usual.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Whats he doing with his rover sterling, any pics? Theres a few nice old XX-type Rover 800's over there.

[VWPowered]

didnt manage to get pics but back there on monday and he's gonna tell me prices on everything :Dhe had a later Bordeaux red 820i (Mk2 UK Plated M Reg) too but the Mk1 Sterling was much better.i'm trying to find out more info on the datsun, i'd love that in the collection if the rot isnt to bad on it..

Great spots as usual.

google didnt want to be my friend today as this was the only pic i could find of the dash lit up

 

[Hudsonpie]

Is the car between the Talbot and the Datsun an Opel Kadett estate....?

[VWPowered]

either a kadett or a rekord

[j-j]

Wasn't the fuse collection for everything on the Lagonda actually under a flap within direct reach of the driver?

 

 

Or iz me mentalz? sure I read that somewhere.

[VWPowered]

i saw loads of fuses in the engine bay (next to where the mileage meter is) not sure if there are another million hidden in the interior and issit me or do those electric window switches look familar???couldnt be BL could they

[Tayne]

[Richard]

The current Transit has three, one of which is in a secret location.

[VWPowered]

thats just mr ford being a stupid arse

[Richard]

It might as well be. There's a passing reference to it in the handbook but the person who wrote the handbook clearly doesn't know where it is. It contains the fuse that blows when your washers are frozen, not that the handbook tells you that either.
