  • Re: Berlinetta restoration Question?

    As you will have seen elsewhere the Berli is now up for sale - an imminent house move precludes me taking her with me so I will sell her now and buy again once the move is sorted.
    Starting with a good car is always a good way to begin and this one was no exception. Recommissioning of the mechanics was needed and that was straightforward, with things renewed upgraded as I went through it. The paintwork was awful and there was only one way to do it - that was to strip it all back to the original substrates to prevent further reactions - at least if the new owner wants to change its colour there is a sound base on which to do it!
    So, to end this diary I have added the pictures I used on ebay - you never know they may help someone else in the future.

      Well this story now comes to an end, the car sold on ebay and will be moving on to a classic car dealer in France next week. The sale price was a little more than I expected and a little less than I hoped for but the market finds its own levels I'm sure.

      Thought I would finish with a copy of the original car as it came to me.
