Yeh, I was thinking that too?? Maybe he ment when they moved it from their original storage to the barn they had it in when I bought it.
Had a look at the Fender Tag, from what I have managed to work out it was a 318/Air con car all along. Rallie red with White Vinal Top! But I'm most likely doing it wrong as there's a fait few codes that dont match up with anything!

When I seen the car the Interiour looked like a Bomb Site! Everything was covered in grime, I guess from being stored in a Farm Barn? All the trim, Front Bumper and supports, seat belts, new parts where just thrown in. The seats where perched on top
Anyway, tool everything out and moved to the shed, then I (eventually) found the Seat runners and bolts. and got the seats fitted and got the Wife to give it a damn good hover and a clean out! Still heaps to do in there but it atleast is drivable again. I wish I had a before and after shot, it really was that bad!
Oh, and can a car pass an MOT without the Front Grill? ie with the bumper back in place?

Desided to whip the Door Cards off and check the inside bottoms. Nice and rust free too! Some damp crud in them both though! So I hovered it all out and nicked the Wife's Hair Drier and got them nice and dry. Then I Waxoiled them!

Sorry sold my spare grille about 5 years ago
Bloke wanted to hang it on his wall ? it was "OK" ish
Not that straight as you can see in the picture
The white Valiant you can see in the picture is Mopar Menace...about a year before paint
The green Cuda, might be Daves in St Albans before going Orange
bit of nostalgia
