Hedge find.....1960 2 door in clarendon grey, who wants it?

Post by **youngun** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 10:51 pm

Amazing what can happen somtimes, ive been offered the chance to acquire another mog which has been residing in a hedge half a mile from where i live.....i never knew it existed! I have no idea what state its in, but the odds are ill either get it for nought or very little. I have no room myself to keep it, but may want a few parts off it.....its a complete car. Would anyone else be interested in it if i were to recover it from the hedge?

Hope you had fun in my moggy today. Let me know what year it is when you see it.

I did! Thanks for trusting me to drive it.......what a shock! Oh and thanks for a great cuppa as well!

Im hoping to have a peak at it tommorrow, ill see what it can yield.

Nick, no idea as yet. I think the plan is to get it to my place then give a good going over and then if theres bits i think i cud do with....ill 'ave 'em. May not be that much, just a few bits and bobs. As i say its a complete car.

cheers,
YG

Have a ganders and let me know. See if you cant get some pics.

Will do, if its any good i may try and sell the car as a whole rather than butcher. If not ill just offer it for parts, if someone wants a bit just ask and ill rip it off and post it to 'em.

Dur - why on earth did I think it was a Trav?

Right then, i ventured down into the field and found it amongst the sherpa vans and old Landy Discoverys! First impressions well i think it could be a lot worse! Its an earlier 2door originally in clarendon grey, from the reg i think its probably 1960, so it will be a 948

.
Rust, well there is some, door bottoms and sills and around the rear wings, it was last on the road in 1999, so im guessing it hasnt eaten in too much?!

I'd really really like this but would be shot if I brought another project home....

Post by **youngun** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:45 pm

Come on, you know you want it......the odds are the bloke will want next to nothing for it.
anyone else, i would love to have it myself but have no room and i dont want to see it broken for parts!

Post by **d_harris** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:47 pm

Thats the thing I really do. I was commenting today at work that I would like a 948 2 door. But I really would be shot!

Post by **youngun** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:49 pm

ah well, its not going anywhere soon i dont think.....unless i can persuade certain people to let me use their shed!

The folding passenger seat and stainless doortops are worth having.
From the pics there's no way to tell condition but I'd hazard a guess it is pretty far gone (although not as rotten as the Raymobile)

Post by **youngun** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 10:13 pm

Hmmm, worth it for parts at least then! Were the stainless door tops an option then?

Post by **rayofleamington** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 11:23 pm

Were the stainless door tops an option then

they were only available on the Traveller and 4 door (although the 4 door ones are a different size). Therefore it's a popular 'upgrade' on a saloon to add some more shiny & the steel quarterlights can rot away and the stainless ones don't.

Hmmm handy then! I think they look nicer too.

Any other takers on this mog? i really want to see it go to a good home!
