May 20, 200717 yr comment_210103 That white one on top looks like it has a better spare wheel well than about half of the supposedly good cars I've looked at!For that matter the roof rails are too."first .... we like to see them ( to look at them )daily especially before sunsite ( when we drink the coffee and remember thepast )"Good on you!!Australians (like our American friends) have generally forgotten the skills and urge to actually rebuild something so unless good easy to fit replacements are available it's off to the scrapheap. And before I get blistered, yes I can and do make my own rust repair panels.

May 20, 200717 yr comment_210107 i'm glad to see that those C110s were spared. perhaps the shells can be rebuilt back up to complete cars, given enough time, money, and focus.

May 20, 200717 yr comment_210125 Like Skyc110 says, I suspect there LHD firewall and identity (chassis number) will be transferred into an imported RHD car, since its illegal to convert a RHD car and use it on the road, but if it had a LHD cars identity (chassis number), the authorities would be none the wiser.
