Looks all original (apart form the ruddy big Sat Nav)
Is the rust on the bottom of the doors original as well?:D:D 0 -

OK, variation on a theme here...
Was shown this 'barnfind' in Galway on Saturday. Long story short, completely original, dust-covered .....sold, and re-sold and sold again........and yet each owner never used it...........'yoke'........you have to work it out
1978, completely unrestored original, still on original wheels and tyres - 18 from new. Unused for.........oh, gosh, 15+ yrs apart from one sojourn of a couple of miles to a parade, last year........
So, some piccies. Brownie points for spotting the weird stuff.Ode To The Motorist

Hope I don't say anything too stupid...
1st pic:three wipers is odd enough. I have no idea what vehicle it is.
2nd pic: where is the coil? In the thermostat housing LOL? Or has the lead just fallen out, and is sitting on top of the thermo housing?
Is that two alternators? Only place I have ever seen two alternator/generators is on a firetruck. Also, what drives the top alternator?
What carb/s are on it? single SU or something?
Is it a firetruck, or some sort of emergency vehicle??
No, No, No, No and..........No. Sorry about the HT lead, yep, it's just resting on the 'stat housing - didn't spot that when taking the pic....Its a jeep.
Bottom 'alternator' is the compressor for an old AC system?
Probably wrong on both counts!
We have a Winner:....that is - you ARE wrong on both counts
Heh Heh Heh...Ode To The Motorist

Right, this is what I reckon
1. It's a Left hooker. Yep
2. It's an old design for the age. The poster says it's a 1978. Triple wipers were not common back then. Also, for 1978 the windscreen is very straight (ie not raked) Yep
3. It's got wide wings. The cars quite wide (triple wipers) but the engine bay seems quite full for a 4 cylinder. mmm, not really, I was struck by how narrow the car was, tbh....
4. It's not running on McPherson Struts. I can't see them in the engine bay Yep
5. It's got a short bonnet. Look at the distance from the bulkhead to the radkinda: it's short, but as a % of the car, not so much...
6. There has been some messing with the vacuum hoses (it's missing the vacuum advance hose off the distributor, and the one off the carb is heading where?)Actually, the one you see on the carb IS the one to the distributor - was disconnected and pulled back, to get access to...something...
7. It's a large displacement (judging by the width of the rocker cover) 4 cylinder pushrod engine, of about 2liter capacity I'd say.Nope
8. The fan belt's interesting. I'd say the alternator is on top, maybe a hydraulic pump at the bottom with a viscous fan at the front (just clearing the water hose) Yep on the alternator, Nope on the
9. The engine is either totally or almost behind the front axle. You can see the steering column.Yep
10. I'll stick my neck out and say it's a Citroen, maybe a DS or something like that (I think that's a suspension sphere I spy at the bottom of the engine bay - EDIT - It could also be a fuel filter, is it mechanical fuel injection ) Nope
Oh lordy lordy, you were doing so well..........but no. Miles out.
This is fun......:pOde To The Motorist
