Aberfourth the series 2

Post by mach2 »

Thought id start a thread on the ever going project that is the 1955 series 2 called Aberfourth.
It all started in January last year when another car was needed :cry: , after hours of searching through many websites Aberfourth was found :lol: . (WARNING CHEESY PICTURE :-? )

The story continues...
Aberfourth is a 1955 series 2 two door saloon, originally fited with an 803 but now has a whopping 1098 van engine :o , the interior is slightly different, when we got it, it had 3 door panels all covered in a funky flower pantern, a carpet made out of house carpet (nice colour but didnt really fit) and to top it off it had a furry orange headlining 8) , complete with dead spiders :wink: . But on the upside it did have very good original seats. The floor, albeit a little rusty, was solid and paintwork was shabby but all the mechanicals were good. But hey it was my first car so it's not allowed to be perfect right :lol:

pictures will be added later because im on the laptop


if in doubt give it a clout!

Nice looking car, how did you come up with the name (or as they say around here where from is the name like) sounds a little welsh to me. Agree the photo is a little cheesy but we like that in Wales as well, Caerphilly for example!
