From Portugal
Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2017 1:57 am
At 64 yo, I found here one Haflinger from 69 !
It is love at firsth glance. I open the wallet and it came with me, on the back of a trailer . . .
Painted in metalic blue, seats from Japan, with a DAF 33 or 44 engine, four diferent tyres, no canvas, it is really a nice project. One very important thing; only small spots of rust and very few holes, mainly on back seats boxes and near the pedals (it is a LHD).
After almost 2 years and a lot of money spend in Austria "Mephisto" is back on the road.
Military OD, original engine, tyres, seats etc € etc € etc € etc €€€€€€
Here in Portugal, we have more or less 30 Haflingers completly rebuild, from +- 160 sold 50 years ago.
Probably in some remote garage or barn stay more 10/20 ?
I will need some assistence to post photos of my car ( is that thing really a car ?).
Thanks to you all for the wontherfull post that I find here !
Sorry for my english
