Dave can prob help with dates but Stu & I went to see the (or one of the) previous owner, Mickey Fullbrook (who used to run the 'Big Bopper' Dart too), at his place in Tilbury, I think around '89, and it was up on blocks in his garage then. Not sure how that fits in with Dave's ownership but I don't think it's don may miles since then

I thought Dave bought it in Belgium? Or was that the Cuda?

Bought the dart in Belgium in 1978 for £325 from the first owner sold it in 1984 with 11000 miles because of my first wife and divorce it then was bought by Mike Jones and then Mickey Fullbrook I bought the car back in 1994 with 17000 miles I then done 2000 miles and took in off the road in 1995 with 19000 miles.
The 1934 Hudson was my first yank that I bought in 1969 a one owner car as well

Christ you was buying it on H.P since 1934 and only finished paying for it in 1969
