    Another "orphan" finds a home!

    Unwanted and felt sorry for this one, so we offered it a home and let it move in with us!

    Cheers, Mick

    It has the six cylinder in it John.
    I have not heard it running but apparently it runs (or ran) well and was parked about six months ago due to a gear box problem.

    Hi John

    Four clues for six,
    1 the colour looks like it's cream.
    2 battery box just visible below door.
    3 the exhaust pipe is entering the wheel cavity directly from the manifold.
    4 the year that grill was fitted.

    Yes, but these clues, which I admit I did not spot, do not mean it still has the six!

    Picked it up tuesday and put the charger on the battery and yesterday morning it would turn over and the electric fuel pump rattled away.
    If I get time today I will put some fuel in it and see if it will fire up!

    She looks like a great project, are you going to keep the 2.6 6cyl or drop another motor into it.
