Title: sport shell Post by: Richard Fridd on 31 March, 2010, 07:49:58 AM did anybody here buy the restored s1 fulvia sport shell as advertised at european classic cars?it must have represented good value considering to the cost of the professional restoration mentioned.hopefully a straightforward job for the fortunate new owner now that the hardwork has been done

Think Michael Lannie bought it, he mentioned in the Fulvia wanted section, Topic: Fulvia sport S1 Engine needed, that he had just bought a series 1 and wants an engine. Shell looks great, shame about the sunroof. Paul Title: Re: sport shell Post by: Sliding Pillar on 31 March, 2010, 04:03:47 PM That looks just like the one I delivered the other day. Couldn't possibly say where I took it though - buyer confidentiality!

Colin Title: Re: sport shell Post by: zagatoman on 31 March, 2010, 06:33:21 PM Shouldn’t that rear valence be a bit lower?

Client confidential. Colin Couldn't agree more, but I haven't got a photo ! Title: Re: sport shell Post by: ColinMarr on 31 March, 2010, 10:10:04 PM And they have been at it a long time! Foreign parts too. Different truck, same client, but still confidential.
Colin Title: Re: sport shell Post by: Sliding Pillar on 01 April, 2010, 06:31:26 AM Yes I remember that trip to Holland Colin, although it must have been 22 years ago now. How could I forget being held up on the M25 by a wide load, then only just managing to get on the ferry and we had to bump the trailer sideways so they could shut the ferry doors.
Then there were Julie's Irish coffees followed by trying to get an Aurelia transaxle down three flights of stairs on a spiral staircase, an interesting exercise to say the least!!!! Ade. Title: Sport shell Post by: libbyvic on 01 April, 2010, 07:40:44 AM Yes, it is a great shell. Really good shut lines etc. Looking through the many parts now.......
Michael Title: Re: sport shell Post by: GreenB20 on 01 April, 2010, 02:44:05 PM Colin, getting side tracked on cars transported, here is a photo of a Stratos on its way back from Germany for the late Roger Perry in 1989. We told the Customs man it was just and old car shell..........his eyes lit up........"ahhh a Stratos" and went back to his office to work out how much it was really worth!
Title: Re: sport shell Post by: GreenB20 on 01 April, 2010, 02:46:05 PM Oh and here are a couple of Aurelias on their way to Switzerland circa 1991.
Title: Re: sport shell Post by: Sliding Pillar on 01 April, 2010, 07:24:25 PM Michael, I hope you have bought you friend who helped me unload it a drink. He didn't look too impressed when I told him we had to lift it out as it had no back wheels! You should have a really good car when it's finished as most of the hard work has been done...... but still lots to do! Good luck.
Ade. Title: Re: sport shell Post by: libbyvic on 01 April, 2010, 07:31:20 PM Cheers Ade. Adam was not too impressed but took it in good spirit!
Thanks again, Michael |
