Weird Car’s weird cars! ‘New Triumph & welcoming home an old friend’

[Weird Car]

So as some may have read in my Getz for sale ad, I recently received my payout from the insurance company for my written off Fiat 500, so we all know what that means, NEW DAILY TIME!! Currently waiting for a wee Cooper S with @calebaaront behind the wheel to show up then we head off for a 3 hour drive to Bedford to collect said motor and hope this collection thread hasn’t cursed us!

Ralf cos mini?

Or the new car caused it

[inconsistant]

Wow a no2 and a no3 already and we haven’t  even got to the car yet!

[High Jetter]

I've been sickened by cars before, but not prior to having them! Chodspeed.

[Weird Car]

And here we are, the new daily!

a 1959 Austin A55 Cambridge

shes rather um… patinated to say the least but very solid needing no structural welding, just a small bit of cosmetic welding, she started from cold straight away, a few minor issues to address like fixing the handbrake cable and fitting brighter indicators but over all not too bad! 

[Rust Collector]

That's awesome!

[High Jetter]

That's far-in-a way the bestest collection today, well done sir!

[catsinthewelder]

That'll be a much smoother ride home even if it takes twice as long.

[eddyramrod]

[Stinkwheel]

Can almost smell the interior of that beauty from here

[barrett]

High-class 'Shiting here. Appreciate the brevity, great unexpected outcome. Car choice 9/10 (only because it's a big-boot). Dibs please!

[Dyslexic Viking]

That's fantastic, I can't wait for more pictures.

[HMC]

I ❤️ the interior!

[Weird Car]

Not all without trouble

The horrible home made side exit exhaust has fallen off, luckily it made it back to Havant without any problems, wafted along very merrily 

[Rocket88]

Do not paint etc etc

[Weird Car]

Quick trip to Halfords and a bodge later

Big salute
