Interesting indeed and rare too. A fabulous Borgward Isabella, and the once ubiquitous but very practical Peugeot 404 pickup. Both now rare in such fine order.

there is (was?) a car dealer in a remote Italian village with similar numbers of cars and some very rare beasts amongst them. the difference was that the cars were parked so close together you could barely walk between them and there were no lights on. The owner inherited the business when his father, allegedly, got "involved" with the concrete being poured for the foundations of a bridge.

That AC 378GT floats my boat. The reg number on the car doesn't exist on the DVLA MOT history site ?

Yeah it does seem an odd choice to put it mildly, Rolling Eyes Also, ironically I am given to understand he died as a result of a car accident!

Re: ONE FOR CLASSIC CAR FANS!





Wow Gary that's stunning even when compared with the Louis Coetzer collection! So far I have amassed 4 classics, a mere 1% of his so I'm well on my way Whistle

I see he has an ultra rare R/H/D Henri Chapron Citroen DS Decapotable, I think the most beautiful car ever made! Even a Dalek from Dr Who Laughing
All well here thanks Gary, and thanks for posting this. Thumbs Up

Hi den

As always ur so welcome mate , Thought u would like that , Thumbs Up was that the car they useto use at the ascot races because it was very stable for the tv cameras

U might want to sit down

1965 CITROËN DS19M DÉCAPOTABLE COACHWORK BY HENRI CHAPRON FOR SALE

Alas can’t see the date , Lot number: 313 - Estimate: £90,000 - £105,000 (Subject to 12.5% +VAT Buyer's Premium)

https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1247133

For me it would be the MK 3 jenson interceptor FF , in red, think the 4 x wheel drive FF has the double wing grills , never forget seeing one for the first time as a kid at a motor show

Advert , This is the car featured in Ep1, season 7 of Wheeler Dealers. It wasn't a bad car then and to be honest, they didn't really do much to it and the mechanicals they did have been redone by REJEN t

I think they used a DS "Break" (estate) for the race camera crews but it was certainly one of the DS line up. The Decapotable is now in stratospheric values with the best now fetching well in excess of £130k.

The Interceptor FF is a fantastic motor too, and like you It was the car from my childhood which above all others stayed with me. Although not an FF, I did eventually fulfil the dream many years ago when I bought one of the last Interceptors to be made at the West Bromwich factory.

It was a beautiful car, with a burr walnut dash and with it's 7.2 litre V8 it went like a scalded cat. It was dreadfully unreliable though, even after I replaced or upgraded every single elec and ign part. The problem was new parts were essentially "new old stock" which was just as bad as the originals. I presume this has by now been addressed by the aftermarket suppliers. Great memories though Smile

I'll see if I can find a pic of it. Thumbs Up
