Some photos of Charlie - 1965 2dr Saloon

Post by Bidz »

Charlie is our 65 saloon, purchased from a fella in York and kind of a rolling project for me. That said, she's in pretty good shape!

After our first big trip ended in radiator troubles, our next big outing is to the National from Liverpool, followed by a scenic tour to the Edinburgh Fringe via the Lake District!

Nice car.
I particularly like that last shot, it could be mistaken for a period shot with that backdrop.
Best wishes,
Mike.

PS: How about this?

Like you say, the car is in pretty good shape and I agree with Mike about the period shot and like the "retouched" pictures he's created. How about some period number plates, the reflective ones don't quite look right, do they?
