Hoping someone has one, and would let me take a look. Just about to start a Project Car and would appreciate looking over a Sorted car before I start. I'm based in the South East , but am willing to travel . Thanks.

If you care to take a spin to Mondello this weekend, and speak to the racers with the HRCA, they will be able to put you in touch with a few owners. One owner regularly races with them. You can PM me for more details if you wish.

When you say 'project car' = replica/resto/diy job ???

Hang out up around D2/Google land and you'll get an eyeful - 3000 Mk III

She's a friend and an occasional boardsie. I'll bring this thread to her attention and suggest she PM the OP.

Never judge a book by its cover!!. Photos don't show the poor quality of paintwork. Little or no rust , but the original colour was White. Mechanically, there are a few issues, so its a complete back to metal strip , respray and rebuild. Hope there are no major issues uncovered , but I will deal with same should it be necessary. Will put up the odd photo during this process if anyone is interested.

Hi there

I think a friend of mine has let you know that I am the owner of a 1967 AH3000 MKIII and live in Ringsend, Dublin 4. It's my car that somebody on this string mentioned was driven around Barrow St rain or shine!! That's the photo of it - red - KRL number plate

I'd be happy to let you take a look and take whatever info you might want from it. It's not 100% original but I drive it every day, have had a full engine restoration and body is in pretty good nick. It's my every day car and I have owned and driven it as my only car for 10 years.

Let me know if you would like to arrange something and what you have in mind in terms of what you want to see/derive from it.

Regards
Sally (Grevesey)

Firstly Big Thanks to Grevesey for allowing me to take some pictures of her car. I now know the standard I have to attain. Started the strip down and no suprises, rust in the usual anticipated spots, cill ends. Basically a very sound car. Some photos below.

You are very welcome. It was nice to meet another AH fan. Good luck with the project. Would love to see the finished product at Terenure 2015aa
