    112-723 Emmett

    A lot of people have heard rumours of his existence for a while so I'd like to introduce everyone to my most recent acquisition 112-723 a Vietnam vet according to the REMLR database. "Emmet" is the very next ARN to Zulu Delta 534's "Onslow" and named because Emmet is another long suffering male to Hyacinth Bucket (the neighbour).



    As can be seen Emmet is currently camouflaged in faux-aboriginal rock art which will shortly succumb to paint stripper.

    He runs and stops although has a problem with the clutch hydraulics.

    Of interest is the fact that he has had his firewall replaced by a post 1967 firewall, most probably while still in service as his ID plate is affixed to the firewall and still overpainted with olive drab.

    I am now on the look out for a pair of gun buggy windscreens and clamps and a good original bumper plus SIIa brush guard.

    Diana

    Congratulations! You have made a lot of people rather jealous

    The front guard chop looks very rough!

    Well spotted. Well bought.
    I'll swap a Dixon Bate pintle with a locking tab for it.

    Looking forward to watching the restoration thread.

    Thanks folks, the LHS guard has some panel work required and not 100% sure about the cut of the RHS one, perhaps no one wanted to get too close to the snake.

    Current plan is to pick it up on Saturday which may be a day later than our other mate. Now I just need to know that I've got the correct ARN for the correct colour car. Otherwise I'll be getting the one with currently unknown provenance, other than it's a SA unit.

    (neither will his wife) = she may like that idea...

    Marshy, -- et tu brutus?

    seriously, very generously I was given an oppourtunity but as we just bought a house- funds wouldn't stretch that far... and I thought I may be able to raise the funds but when the wife found me putting an ad to sell the kids on ebay, well....let's just say it didn't go ahead!

    Both are going to very good custodians and I will watch closely (as I'm sure you will all know!) One day maybe I shall join the fold but now I shall live the dream through Diana and the "other custodian" !! (who by the way is well chuffed he got one!)
