GL reg Bath England

tc20 · 15-02-2008 11:01AM

sorry i didnt get pics, as i was stuck in traffic, daydreaming away, when something very big, very wide, and very American passed me in the opposite direction. nice light blue metallic, huge chrome mouth, possibly 4 door, but straight lines as opposed to a be-finned piece of Americana

Reg was 63 - D - 8

Im not too savvy on US cars of that period so couldnt say whether it was a Ford, GMC or something else. It was HUGE tho', and very cool... It passed me on the Stillorgan D/C c6pm yesterday evening

Max_Damage · 15-02-2008 11:48AM

^ 63-D-8 comes up as as Austin on Cartell.

these are a few cars around my home place, not sure if ye will consider them to be classics! there are also a couple of Capris in the area for sale, will stick up some more pics if this works.

Max_Damage · 15-02-2008 10:44PM

It's alright thanks all the same. Being a poor college student, I can't afford to run another car unfortunately.

carchaeologist · 17-02-2008 08:22PM

A consul originally from chelmsford i think? Do you have it long?

Sids Not · 17-02-2008 08:33PM

December 06...drove it till feb 07 but the engine was a wee bit smokey so i pulled it out and rebuilt it...took my time with it and finally got it back in in november....since then i've been tipping around with small jobs, last week i replaced all the door cards and started to stick in a mini wiper set up.....Took her out today for her first loooong spin, its a real pain running her in though...I got her from a guy in Abingdon, Oxford..

carchaeologist · 17-02-2008 08:39PM
