the yellow one came up here

this is it in 2009 ... not seen it since

Yep thats my old car I sold to Budgie who sold it on to a chap from Manchester way who said it was a keeper but sold it shortly after for big money. Now lives in Holland and is owned by Kirsten van Croonenborgh who also owns the Suzy Q Cuda

Its a shame but i think this last fella that owned it before it went abroad lost a fortune on it

The red one was my 1st mopar, I bought it 84ish in gold and it was rotten, spent a long time welding it up, also a 340 4speed car, will dig out some pics of it, was it a Kingston car then? If so I never knew

[Guy]

Here are the Kingston cars I knew of all vin # checked

[Guy]

Of course my old one.

The red one that was owned by Shaun/Jerry wasn't a kingston car as the build date was all wrong and was assembled in Belgium which probably explain why it needed so much welding Jerry

[Cannonball]

now that last one on a x plate thats 1981-2 i think so that must have been the last sold crikey that surely had no rust on it,
nearly 10 yrs hidden

The yellow car with the black on the hood, would that have come like that as I noticed the others don't have it?

I was gonna post that pic of FGC263X early today as it's another I snapped at Blake Hall on 9th May 91 (the red cuda DRN786S was there too that day).
I'm sure I posted it here before and asked whether it was a Kingston cuda, as I remember reading the bumpf on the dash that the owner had written, about it being a very low mileage car, unsold from new for years.
But I don't remember now whether it mentioned 'Kingston' or whether the owner knew what they were, but I'm sure whoever replied on here said it wasn't a Kingston cuda

Looks like the guy in the pic with the fag is the owner, the way he's got his hand inside the car. Anyone recognise him (bearing in mind this was nearly 23 years ago!)?

[Guy]

It was an option Carl, V21 on the fender tag. But it wasn't an option on mine as it was only an option in 72. I had it painted like that as without it the car was way to yellow. The yellow grill was correct though.

Rob i remember looking over this Cuda (blue) at Billing or maybe it was Knebworth and checking out the vin when the bonnet was open it was definitely an 04/04 build car, a Kingston car. No idea on the owner though

[Cannonball]

I reckon it would be great if someone could get to the owner x or otherwise of the kingston car company and we could hear the tale directly i find Bananarama! like this very interesting,

The blue car above FGC263X was only one digit on from the red one we had which is shown on the Rods N Sods post FGC262X, also shown above at the Nats after it was re registered on an age related plate

It was the red one that Stuart Keen owned he did the body work on it and kept it about 12 months before doing a deal with Carston on the 300, and now lives in Germany somewhere.

I tried on several occasions to contact the company Dunc, put drew a blank each time.

I remember these cars in the showroom at the time ('82/'83)? and I think they were priced at about £9k?
The dealer moved 20? years ago from Kingston to Barnes and the place in Barnes is now a Kia & 4 x 4 dealer.
