You will all have to wait now I am afraid
To confuse things somebody is close
somebody might of said it but cant award points as its not an answer and they didn't realise they have
the clues are there....................
Yes Rocker its a real smokers window and though its not French there is a French link in a way
Ive said far too much already
This tape will self destruct in 10 seconds

Thread title is fake news now! Collections have happened since this was written and we've still not seen this one
Fair point
It was supposed to be here yesterday but I have ended the title in ?
Just in case
It is my first Collection of 21 though
It really was supposed to be a collection now its a delivery

It is the first on the wob though. If it wasn't for the no French thing I might of thought you had bought my old Panhard as that really did stink inside. Maybe something from the Rootes group.

I haven't smelled the interior yet but i believe a squirrel had got in and filled it full of nuts!
but im guessing that it stinks?
Will be throwing away carpet and probably make my own
Seats,Dash etc have cobwebs I thought the vendor might of hoovered them but up to the last pic they hadn't bothered
Don't mind cleaning but at this time of the year I don't want to get things too wet might end up going down the floorpans and if there's sound deadening remove it and disinfect the floor who knows?
Would not of minded the wheels on it if they were a full set but unless i can find a spare exact match ill end up having to replace the lot with aftermarket.
Tyres are past it three hold good air one has a 24 hour puncture dont want to replace tyres on wheels im not keeping so might have to buy an odd ditch finder or part worn?
Its the small bits you can get I seem to spend most of my life chasing trim parts made of unobtainum for vehicles I own

Well those who suggested Renault there is a link in a round about way
Those who mentioned Rootes there's a link
Mr Rocker mentioned the type of Vehicle
But the prize for guessing what it was without saying a word at all everytime they posted a guess goes to Mr Rover
It was under your nose all the time mate

I went to look at one on October but rejected it because if wandering thought it was a one off
Oh well i guess ill just have to learn how to drive tradesman
Ive started a new Thread on it
Mr "Dodge" Rover had it right from the start

It was the steering I found odd in the other one mind you if you figure in worn bushes etc and its a worm drive box im guessing after a thorough refurb it wont be so bad?
It was cheap so got a decent wedge to throw at it will probably replace all the brakes etc.
trans has slippage but if need be ill have it taken out and a rebuild
