Hi to all,
I've just got hold of a 72 fastback, last used in anger in 1988 a real survivor, massive history, and one owner, its been all over the Continent, Torino Italy, Helsinki, the top of Norway to name a few, aftermarket pipes, its been breathed on by a friend of the owner who was a mechanic in a police maintenance shop, rare continental luggage rack, half fairing, HiPo front brake assembly, elec ign, TT100 tyre's, half fairing, period panniers and top box.
I thought i was going to look and possible buy an old unloved shed, hopefully do something with it and pass it on to fund the 54 F100 i have waiting to put on the road,
But after picking it up and looking through all the paperwork i think its going to be a keeper :D
The Truck will have to wait a little longer :read2:
