had a closer look at the Ford this morning.
REG is ZF 4331
Says Customline V8 on dash
Well beyond saving, but engine block looks ok, as does steering wheel and dash, dials etc, some trim ok. Rear bumper solid and could be rechromed, boot ok some minot rust. Rear glass is perfect, drivers window and drivers side passenger window ok, as are quarterlights.
Its a real pity nothing can be done for this old lady. Maybe the parts mentioned will help someone else.
Has anyone ever tried to recover some old vehicles like this in the past?
I know that in the UK there is a group that use 4x4 and recover old burnt out motors from field and forest and such as they spoil the country side.
Could and should something like this be done here?
This V8 would be an example, it could be recovered, goodish psrts removed and the rest recycled properly.
might work

and afew more
That J9 looks like a late model as they were built till 1993. I liked it cos it had sliding doors, sort of like the BMC J4. I found an earlier one in the Tarn
region in a barn, was used to transport manequins in Paris in the early 60s.
DS Break - wow, this one looks very restoreable. Arent there some places in France where you could find between 90-100 of these cars in one place?

Why the twin reg plate?
so when your carrying a load (whilst poisoning yourself with fumes) others could still see your number plate, clever really :rolleyes:
